GAD’s pensions policy and regulation team provides a dedicated and flexible source of expertise for government departments and public bodies requiring an independent actuarial contribution to policy development.

We provide actuarial advice to the UK Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on government policy in relation to work-based pension schemes.  We also advise the Pensions Regulator and the Pension Protection Fund in the UK.

The GAD pensions policy team also provides support on a number of the Government Actuary’s statutory responsibilities, including:

• The Government Actuary’s report to parliament on the terms for contracting out of the state second pension.
• The tables of annuity rates produced by the Government Actuary, on behalf of HM Revenue & Customs, which are used to work out the maximum income which may be withdrawn from unsecured pension funds and alternatively secured pension funds (income drawdown).

Our expertise in pensions policy and supervision is available to government and public service clients outwith the UK.
