Today, The Pensions Regulator (TPR) published its Market Oversight report on pensions administrators. Commenting on the report, Michelle Esterkin, Head of Admin Consulting at Brightwell said: “Strong administration is the backbone of the pension system, integral to effective scheme management and member satisfaction but it has suffered from lack of investment.
