The government is committed to reforming our pensions landscape to increase returns for savers and boost growth for Britain. This is a journey the industry is already on. Last week, 17 workplace pension providers signed the Mansion House Accord, pledging to invest 10% of their main default funds in private assets, such as infrastructure, by 2030. At least 5% will be for UK assets, which could unlock over £25bn of new UK investment in key sectors.
