On August 6, 2014, the FCA published a consultation paper on
proposed rules that would call for providers of workplace personal
pension schemes to establish and maintain independent governance
committees ("IGCs"). The key duties of the IGCs would be
to act in the interest of relevant policyholders, assess whether
the workplace personal pension schemes are high quality and offer
value for money, escalate concerns to the FCA and alert the
relevant scheme members and employers of any concerns, as well as
producing an annual report of any of its findings. The consultation
runs until October 10, 2014.
The consultation paper is available at: http://www.fca.org.uk/static/documents/consultation-papers/cp14-16.pdf.
