Lost Pensions are a serious and growing issue. For a saver, losing money can mean a lower standard of living in retirement. For providers, the administrative burden can be costly. For policy makers, reuniting savers with this money could be one of the best opportunities to boost retirement adequacy for certain groups.

The Pensions Policy Institute (PPI) has been monitoring the growth of lost pension pots by periodically surveying pensions providers. The most recent survey found that there are £31.1 billion worth of assets held in 3.3 million pots, making the average size of a lost pot £9,400. In this talk, we will explore where the problem comes from, and how different policy interventions could reverse this trend.

In this event, we’ll examine the root causes of this issue and explore how different policy interventions could help reverse the trend.

We’ll be joined by John Upton, Policy Analyst at PPI, to discuss the findings and potential solutions.
