FCA proposes greater investment flexibility for workplace pensions
Friday, November 13, 2026 · first reported by Alternative Credit Investor
The FCA has opened a consultation on taking certain performance-linked fees, common in private markets, out of the charge cap that applies to default funds in the workplace pensions it regulates. Providers would gain more room to use a wider range of investments, which the regulator says should improve long-term returns and value for savers. Providers and independent governance committees would need the information to judge whether those fees give value for money.
The change would align FCA rules with trust-based schemes, where such fees have been excluded since 2023. The consultation closes on 14 January 2027, and final rules are expected next summer.
