Key Trends in the UK Pension Funds Market

1. Auto-enrolment Expansion and Rising Contributions

Auto-enrolment programs expand contributors, maintain high participation, and encourage savings through salary-sacrifice, providing predictable funds that support long-term investments in infrastructure and private equity.

2. Bulk-annuity Buy-Outs and Risk-Transfer Deals

Bulk-annuity buy-outs are rising, with insurers taking on corporate pension liabilities, offering sponsors risk reduction and balance-sheet flexibility, while competition and capacity create favorable conditions for investors.

3. Shift from Defined Benefit to Defined Contribution Schemes

As private DB accrual declines, contributions shift to DC plans, driving growth-focused investments in equities and private markets, with hybrid DC models balancing risk and demographic needs.

4. Technology-Enabled Member Engagement

Digital tools like AI dashboards and robo-advice enhance member engagement, automate rebalancing, lower costs, improve communication, and ensure transparency and security through standardized, data-driven pension management.
