We help everyone achieve a better income in retirement
About us
Our mission is to help everyone achieve a better income in retirement. We work to get more people and money into retirement savings, to get more value out of those savings and to build the confidence and understanding of savers. We represent: - Over 1,300 pension schemes with 20 million savers. These include defined benefit, defined contribution, master trusts and local government funds. - 1,000,000,000,000, (£1 trillion) in assets - Some 400 businesses which provide essential services and advice to UK pensions providers. WHAT WE DO We bring together the industry and other parties to raise standards, share best practice and support our members. We work collaboratively with members, government, parliament, regulators and other stakeholders to help build sustainable policies and regulation which deliver a better income in retirement. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN PRACTICE? We ensure our members’ views, and those of their savers are heard by decision makers; we are the voice of our members with government, Parliament and regulators and we comment publicly on their behalf on key retirement income issues for savers. Our industry-leading events, policy bodies and working groups facilitate direct exchange between members, government and regulators. We also help members run better pension schemes: we are an important source for training, support and guidance on key retirement savings issues for the benefit of both pensions professionals and those who provide support services to the sector. WHY WHAT WE DO IS IMPORTANT Our members pay out billions of pounds to millions of people every year. The impact of our members’ funds and the retirement incomes they provide underpin the financial security of individuals and beyond that, the future development of the nation’s economy.

Today, we have submitted two PLSA responses to consultations that are part of the Government's Mansion House agenda, focusing on DC pensions and the LGPS. The Government's Mansion House reforms aim to boost the economy, drive consolidation, and improve savings outcomes, which we support but also have concerns that the proposals may bring unintended consequences and other issues. Thank you to our members for contributing through roundtables, committee discussions, and emails – your input ensures our submissions reflect your views. Read the full submissions below, and our blog in the member area outlining our main points.
