Core trends and recent developments

This has been a recurring theme in the UK and parts of Europe, with discussions about multi-employer or collective schemes gaining ground.[4][5]

Expect more OTP-based updates and reduced paperwork in the coming months.[1]

Some funds are reassessing US and global equity exposure amid volatility and policy shifts.[6][4]
• Policy and regulatory shifts: Governments are issuing new guidelines or consultations on pension fund governance, investment rules, and coverage expansions, aiming to balance long-term pension security with prudent investment.[7][4]
