Pension scheme assets – how they are invested and how and why they change over time
By The Pensions Policy Intitute
We know both ‘quite a lot’ and ‘not enough’ about the assets that back current and future retirement incomes. Quite a lot because there are several sources of data that map pension fund assets and the way in which they are invested. Not enough because there are gaps in our knowledge and a multiplicity of data sets that classify assets in slightly different ways. The timing of different reports can also create difficulty mapping assets consistently as asset values change all the time!
One reason for the lack of data or consistency lies in the multi-layered system for pension provision in the UK (over and above the state pension).
