Pensions Regulator publishes final version of transfer values guidance | Practical Law
The Pensions Regulator has finalised its transfer values guidance for the trustees of defined benefit schemes. Changes to the regulations governing the provision of cash-equivalent transfer values (CETVs) came into effect on 1 October 2008 (see Legal update, Transfer values: amending regulations and consultation response published). Under the new regime, trustees have sole responsibility for setting the assumptions used in the calculation of CETVs, and must choose these on a "best estimate" basis.
