The Pension Policy Institute (PPI) launches its annual DC Asset Allocation Survey today.
The DC Asset Allocation Survey, now in its seventh year, collects data on size, charges, and asset allocation across the DC universe. The survey’s findings are documented in the DC Future Book: in collaboration with Columbia Threadneedle Investments, the 2022 version of which will be released in September of this year.
The DC Future Book, which was first released in 2015, has quickly become a go-to resource for data on the DC scene, as well as commentary, analysis, and forecasts of future trends.
According to PPI, the information acquired through the survey is crucial to furthering knowledge of the DC ecosystem, particularly on the trends in DC investment strategy.
PPI says that as it enters a period of increased evolution in pension investment, it is even more critical that it tracks these trends in order to provide a more substantial evidence base for policymakers and those in charge of DC decision-making to create a DC landscape that effectively delivers more positive outcomes for DC savers.
PPI is calling those who for a DC pension scheme, and requires their help to broaden the scope of the poll so that it can get a better picture of the present DC landscape.
PPI senior policy researcher Lauren Wilkinson says: “Since its inception in 2015 the DC Asset Allocation Survey has grown substantially, with last year’s survey including data on more than half of UK DC scheme members. This year we want to further increase the coverage of the survey so that the DC Future Book can become more comprehensive than ever before and better support decision-makers in their efforts to enhance the DC landscape.”
