This tool shows whether your Scheme might fit into The Pensions Regulator's 'Fast Track' funding regime or what changes might be needed to pass the 'Fast Track' tests, based on the Funding Code that was laid before parliament on 29 July 2024.
You will need the following information to use this tool (approximate figures are fine, as this is an approximate model).
You can also use it to test what would happen if you had a change in funding or strategy.
You can read more about the Code in our Briefing Note.
This tool is designed to give a broad comparison of an individual scheme's strategy relative to The Pensions Regulator's (TPR) Fast Track based on the Funding Code document that was laid before parliament on 29 July 2024. This tool does not constitute advice and must not be relied upon. By using this model, users implicitly agree that Hymans Robertson LLP are not to be liable in any way.
This tool is approximate, and users should only use this tool as a possible indication of impact. Further detailed modelling will be required to fully assess how specific scheme plans compare.
The scheme specific modelling uses a high-level approach, based on the characteristics of a typical scheme. The key assumptions in the model within this tool are:
To meet the Fast Track requirements Scheme's must calculate low dependency liabilities in line with TPR's assumptions and meet expenses in a particular manner. These requirements are not assessed by our tests.
There is a maximum of 2x leverage allowed on your bond portfolio to fit into Fast Track. This is not explicitly allowed for in the app.
