The Occupational Pension Schemes (Administration, Investment and Charges and Governance) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2021
These Regulations amend the law relating to the administration of occupational pension schemes. Regulation 2 amends the Occupational Pension Schemes (Scheme Administration) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1997 to require trustees and managers to report on the return on investments their funds have achieved as part of the annual statement required on governance. It also requires the trustees and managers of schemes holding assets worth less than £100 million to compare the charges and transaction costs and the return on investments of their schemes with three other schemes and to assess the extent to which their schemes satisfy administration and governance criteria as part of their value for members assessment under regulation 25(1A) of those Regulations. Regulation 5 makes a consequential amendment to the Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Disclosure of Information) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014.
