Details

The Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) offers help to some people who have lost out on their occupational pension scheme because their sponsoring employer has become insolvent.

This publication is for trustees of pension schemes that are transferring to the FAS. It provides guidance on how they might deal with the impact of the guaranteed minimum pension on the equalisation (between men and women) of members’ expected pensions ahead of providing data to the FAS scheme manager.
