The PPF has recently published its consultation on the 2021/22 levy year, setting the rules for the levy to be invoiced in autumn 2021. This comes at a particularly uncertain time for the PPF, with the prospect of an increased level of COVID-19-related insolvencies on the horizon. Lewys Curteis, Associate and Head of PPF Levy Consulting, will lead you through the PPF’s proposals, and what this might mean for future PPF levies. He will also provide an overview of the change in the insolvency risk provider from Experian to D&B, and the impact of COVID-19 on individual company scores.

The Lifetime Allowance (LTA) limits the tax-effectiveness of pension wealth.  Through successive amendments to the level of the allowance, the rules regarding how pension wealth is taxed have grown more complex.  Rather than set out a comprehensive guide to all the variations, this webinar looks at examples of the more common instances where pension wealth exceeds the Lifetime Allowance, including cases where the savers have Enhanced Protection or Fixed Protection.

With the recent publication of The Pensions Regulator’s interim regime for capital-backed consolidation vehicles, the first “superfund” transactions are now closer than ever.  The superfunds could be an attractive option for the trustees and sponsors of schemes which might not be able to afford a full buyout in the short term.

Join this webinar with Amanda Latham, Jack Sharman and Tom Hargreaves, who have been actively involved in researching and advising clients on the superfunds since their launch in 2018.

This webinar will give you:
•an independent view on the new superfund models and who they’re suitable for
•confidence in assessing the superfunds in the context of the full range of options for the long-term destination for your scheme
•an understanding of how to start planning your scheme’s journey towards your long-term target

Navigating the DB superfund regime – is it right for you?

Trustees of a SSAS have a lot to think about when settling death benefits, including finding and notifying relevant parties, valuing assets and calculating the late member’s share of the Scheme, deciding who should benefit, agreeing the type of benefits that will be paid and how the benefits will be funded. Lisa will consider how this works in practice, and what's needed to enable benefits to be paid correctly.

Join our experts Simon Bramwell, Principal, Head of Longevity Risk Transactions and Will Rice, Partner, who will be joined by Alan Baker, Trustee Director from LawDeb for a joint webinar in which they discuss how trustees should be reflecting the significant mortality trends in recent years in light of the impact of Covid-19. It is vital for trustees and sponsors of DB schemes to understand the life expectancy of their members to complete valuations, assess risk management options and calculate transfer values. Thus leading to the big question; what is the impact of Covid-19?

Throughout this webinar our speakers will explore many ways that Covid-19 is impacting on mortality. Such as the mortality experience in 2020, the varied impacts between pensions schemes, and how Covid-19 has changed our view of future life expectancy and much more.
