In our Pensions on Air podcast, we delve into all things pensions-related, bringing you the key developments in pensions law and regulation through monthly 15-minute episodes that accompany our Pensions Essentials bulletin.

In this episode, Dan Schaffer is joined by Karen Mumgaard to discuss recent activity from the Pensions Regulator, including its preliminary guidance on the use of AI by pension schemes, key messages from its latest annual funding statement and recent research in relation to DC consolidation and whether scale delivers better outcomes for members.

Dan and Karen also discuss new guidance from the Financial Reporting Council on the Virgin Media remediation provisions, recent HMRC publications on the new inheritance tax regime for pensions, and the interim findings of the government’s Pensions Commission on retirement adequacy.

You can also read about these topics in our May 2026 edition of Pensions Essentials here.
