TPR segment identifier tool

What segment does TPR think your scheme is in?

With The Pensions Regulator (TPR) continuing to be clearer, quicker, tougher, its 2019 Annual Funding Statement explicitly sets out what you're expected to consider to better manage risk and avoid regulatory intervention. It’s important that you understand what this means for your scheme.

These expectations are set out by grouping schemes into segments, A to E, based on three criteria: employer covenant, recovery plan length, and strength of funding target. Scheme maturity, then creates a further layer of segmentation.

In just five simple steps, our segment identifier can tell you which of TPR’s segments is most relevant to your scheme and the key actions you should be taking on covenant, investment and funding in response.

You will need the following information about your scheme:

A rating for your sponsor covenant
Its funding level, on Technical Provisions and buy-out
Its Recovery Plan length
The proportion of your liabilities that relate to pensioners

Don't worry if you don't know the exact numbers, approximate figures are all we need.
