Webinar Replay - What the New CDC Regulations Could Mean to You and Your Employees

On 22 October 2025 in our London office, the Pensions Minister announced that the UK government is ‘green lighting’ Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) schemes, with new regulations to deliver lifelong income security from which millions could benefit.

The new regulations that have been published will allow the expansion of CDC to allow multi-employer whole-life CDC pension schemes through industry-wide schemes and master trusts. This means more employers, and thus more employees, can access CDC pensions—potentially expanding coverage to hundreds of thousands of people.

The Government has also started consulting on Retirement CDC, which would let people transfer their defined contribution (DC) pension pots into a CDC scheme at retirement. The goal is to give millions of DC savers access to a regular, inflation-linked income for life, removing the need for individuals to manage how long their funds last.

During this recording we discuss what employee outcomes could look like and share some important developments and opportunities in this space.
