The Aptia Pensions Administration Pod – Episode Four Out Now!
In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at Guaranteed Minimum Pensions Equalisation (GMPE) and the ongoing impact of the Lloyds 3 judgement.
It’s now seven years since the High Court ruled in favour of GMPE and almost five years since Lloyds 3 tied up the remaining loose ends — yet many pension schemes have made little or no progress on this vital work.
Hosted by John Wilson, Head of Pensions Technical at Aptia, this discussion features Terry Wharton, Head of Projects, as they explore why it’s time to draw a line under the GMPE saga once and for all — and how schemes can finally move forward.
