Pension Protection Fund

Pensions experts have warned against the possible pitfalls arising from the creation of the Pensions Protection Fund (Ppf).

AROUND 1,750 PENSION FUND members at collapsed carpet-maker Stoddard are going to have to wait more than a year to hear whether they are eligible for help from the new Pension Protection Fund (PPF), says the Scotsman .

YET ANOTHER final salary pension fund is about to be wound up, to the detriment of around 2,000 scheme members, says this morning's Times newspaper.

The government's proposed Pension Protection Fund (PPF) suffers from fundamental flaws and could go the same way as the pension schemes it is supposed to protect, leading actuaries warn.

Companies could be prevented from closing pension schemes after a takeover, and may be expected to discuss occupational pension scheme changes with staff, according to an MPs debate held in the House of Commons on Tuesday afternoon.
