Many companies and employees have been financially impacted by Covid-19. For DB pension schemes, this has resulted in some companies stopping or reducing cash contributions to their pension schemes. For DC pension schemes, generally we have seen fund values fall. We discuss how companies are completing a forensic view of cashflows, network and supply chains to help prepare for life after Covid-19 and discuss how cyber risks have increased over the period.

WHAT MIGHT INTEGRATED RISK MANAGEMENT LOOK LIKE FOR DC SCHEMES? While much time and resource has been spent by trustees, sponsors and the Regulator examining how to embed IRM into DB plans, is there a comparable approach to risk management that could work for DC plans? Here we look at some of the main learnings from DB-style IRM that can help DC plans improve their identification and management of risks.
