In parallel, TPT will develop bespoke single-employer CDC schemes for larger businesses seeking tailored solutions.

For members, they offer an income for life, similar to DB schemes. For employers, they provide cost certainty akin to DC schemes. Andy O'Regan, Chief Client Strategy Officer at TPT Retirement Solutions, said: "We are excited to be at the forefront of pension innovation in the UK. Making CDC accessible to all employers, regardless of size, is a significant step forward for the industry. For interested employers, offering a CDC scheme could become a powerful tool for talent attraction and retention." David Lane, Chief Executive of TPT Retirement Solutions, said: "The pensions industry is at a point where innovation is critical. We believe there is a clear opportunity for CDC schemes to fill a gap in the pensions market and could be the right solution for many employers and scheme members. Our track record in managing large-scale, multi-employer pension schemes means we are well-placed to lead this transformation." Minister for Pensions, Torsten Bell MP, said: "I am delighted to see TPT confirming plans for a multi-employer CDC scheme, just days after I set out the timeline for new legislation to enable these new types of pension schemes."
