‘Steward’ Nest seeks high standards in UK pensions
In the United Kingdom, the National Employment Savings Trust, known as Nest, is the country’s leading defined contribution workplace pension scheme. It was set up to facilitate automatic enrolment as part of the government’s workplace pension reforms under the Pensions Act 2008. It has 11 million members with 24 billion pounds in assets under management.
“We are really strong advocates of stewardship,” said Nest CEO Helen Dean (pictured), speaking at a recent World Pensions Council conference in Paris.
