A pension scheme is simply a type of savings plan to help you save money for later life. And there are tax advantages compared with other types of savings.
You save some of your income regularly during your working life. This gives you an income in later life, when you want to work less or retire. There are several types of pension schemes. Some might be run by your employer, others you can set up by yourself. These might include being able to take a tax-free lump sum, and the added security of being able to receive a regular income.
This is calculated based on your final pensionable salary or your average salary over your employment and years of pensionable service. If you have a defined contribution pension scheme, you build up your own pot of money.
The value of this pot can go up or down. But over the long term, pension savings usually grow and you can benefit from various tax advantages. When you retire, the amount of income you get will depend on the size of your pot and how you choose to take money from your pension at that time. Call us free on or use our webchat.

There are two basic types of private pension plans: single-employer plans and multiemployer plans. The latter typically cover unionized workers who may work for several employers.
The PBGC acts as a pension insurance fund: Employers pay the PBGC an annual premium for each participant, and the PBGC guarantees that employees will receive retirement and other benefits if the employer goes out of business or decides to terminate its pension plan.
The PBGC won't necessarily pay the full amount retirees would have received if their plans had continued to operate. Instead, it pays up to certain maximums, which can change from year to year. ERISA does not cover public pension funds, which instead follow the rules established by state governments and sometimes state constitutions. Nor does the PBGC insure public plans. In most states, taxpayers are responsible for picking up the bill if a public employee plan is unable to meet its obligations.
That means they must put their clients' the future retirees interests ahead of their own. By law, the investments they make are supposed to be both prudent and diversified in a manner that is intended to prevent significant losses.
The traditional investing strategy for a pension fund is to split its assets among bonds, stocks, and commercial real estate. Many pension funds have given up active stock portfolio management and now only invest in index funds.
An emerging trend is to put some money into alternative investments, in search of higher returns and greater diversity. Those investments include private equity , hedge funds , commodities , derivatives , and high-yield bonds.
While some pension funds are in solid shape today, many others are not. For private pension plans, those numbers are reflected in the financial obligations taken on by their insurer, the PBGC. The Congressional Research Service reported that, "PBGC projects the financial position of the single-employer program is likely to continue to improve, but the financial position of the multiemployer program is expected to worsen considerably over the next 10 years.
However, that assessment was written before the passage of the American Rescue Plan Act of in March It includes provisions intended to help the PBGC strengthen multiemployer plans. Plans that face serious financial trouble are eligible to apply for special assistance in the form of a single, lump-sum payment calculated to cover the plan's obligations through the year Rather than insurance premiums, the money to fund this program is to come from the U.
