We’re seeing growing momentum behind Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) pensions in the UK, as policymakers and industry look for new ways to deliver more sustainable and predictable retirement outcomes. 

In this episode of the Quick Take, Aaron and Letty are joined by Laun Middleton, Partner at LCP, to explore how CDC works in practice and what lessons can be learned from the Netherlands. We discuss how the UK has taken on board the lessons learned from CDC pensions internationally, in particular how UK CDC was developed to better incorporate  how risk is managed and shared. Finally, we touch on what recent reforms in the Dutch system could mean not just for pensions, but for financial markets more broadly.
