Managing the Pensions Revolution

Designed for trustees, company secretaries and personnel professionals, this handbook brings together good pensions practice with the likely shape of future legislation, following the Goode Report and the Maxwell scandal. This book forms a comprehensive guide for managers who need to know and understand the new structures of pensions policy. It gives an overview to the current system, looking at basic state pensions, state earnings-related pensions and personal pensions, as well as the different types of occupational pensions. It analyzes how schemes are run, how benefits are structured, administered and how they are likely to develop in the future. The author offers managers helpful hints in choosing, sponsoring and incorporating a scheme from the ones currently available. But why should you? What are the alternatives? What tax advantages are there to be gained? There and many other quesions are answered for all those who have to deal with company pensions, but who are not professional actuaries or financial advisers.
