Webinar – Implications of the 2025 Pensions Schemes Bill for DB pensions

Brightwell recently hosted an insightful webinar discussing the implications of the recent pension schemes bill for DB schemes. Our expert panel, including Morten Nilsson, Tiffany T. Tsang, Tim Giles, and Ian Mills, covered crucial topics such as surplus extraction, PPF levy reform, and DB Super Funds.

The discussion provided valuable insights into the statutory override for surplus payments, safeguards to ensure scheme assets exceed liabilities, and the impact on investments within the UK.

The PPF levy reform was also highlighted, with emphasis on the removal of restrictions and the introduction of a new cap mechanism for annual levy increases.

Watch the webinar recording in full below.
