We recently surveyed over 1,000 individuals in the UK with defined benefit (DB) pensions to hear what matters most to members when it comes to their pension. In our first article in The Member Perspective series, we explored how they felt about different endgame options. 

In our latest publication, we take a deeper dive into their views about schemes running on and approaches to sharing surplus, including:

  • How members feel about their scheme running on
  • Member expectations for how surplus should be used
  • How the member view aligns with corporate priorities
  • What this means for trustees and sponsors
