The SPP’s response to the DWP discussion paper on key elements of the Scale Policy

The SPP welcomes the government’s ambition to harness scale for Defined Contribution (DC) pension schemes but our response to the DWP discussion paper on key elements of the Scale Policy, warns that an extended regulatory timeline risks creating paralysis in industry planning, stifling innovation, and compressing execution risk as the 2030 deadline approaches.

There are also various areas that require urgent regulatory clarity and greater flexibility, particularly regarding the definition of Common Investment Strategies (CIS) and the measurement of scheme scale.
