Here are my thoughts on the DWP’s proposals to reform the funding of Defined Benefit pension schemes. Thank goodness they have revised the old idea of just driving schemes to minimise risk, rather than using their assets to diversify into higher growth and higher expected return investments too.

Ros was quoted by Citywire calling for more money in ISAs and pensions to be channelled into domestic investments – and explaining the potential benefits of investment trusts.
