Brightwell comments on the publication of the PPF Purple Book
Morten Nilsson, CEO, Brightwell said: “The PPF Purple Book once again highlights the highly fragmented nature of UK DB schemes. It’s startling that schemes with fewer than 1,000 members make up 80 per cent of the total number of schemes but only around 10 per cent of total assets, liabilities, and members.
“The government is currently focussed on consolidation within LGPS and DC but there’s huge opportunity to improve efficiency and value for money within the DB sector.”
On the trends in investment, Morten said: “Given that the majority of UK DB schemes are closed with an ageing member base it’s no surprise that schemes are increasing moving assets away from equities and into bonds in order to meet their cashflow requirements. This is a trend will almost certainly continue.”
