PENSIONS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Cost cutting: Running dry: pension funds hit by US cost-cutting plans
US cost-cutting measures are draining funds from pensions. And there's a danger the funding drought could spread here.

Pension protection fund: Feeling the strain: is the PPF at death's door?
Despite some high-profile failures, the Pension Protection Fund insists it isn't overburdened. The Pensions Regulator will prevent trustees making the situation worse.

Assumptions: Looks interesting: the future of pension scheme assets and liabilities
Pension scheme assets have taken a hammering, with poor investment returns leaving huge deficits. But these pale in comparison to the dangers posed by longer life expectancy.

Scheme valuation: Measure for measure - three ways to measure pension deficits
Deficits are ballooning – or are they? The answer really depends on which of the three valuation methods you use. Either way, it's certainly worth understanding them all.

Employer responsibility: Take your chances - passing DC scheme risk on to employees
Defined contribution schemes absolve employees from responsibility for their employees' pension pot. But trying to pass all the risk on to employees could come back to bite them.
