- Bob Baldwin, a pension industry veteran, offers his personal reflections on the unhelpful hyperbole surrounding defined-benefit and defined-contribution plans and explores the way forward for workplace pension design.
- Baldwin calls on plan governors to adopt measures to help reconcile the unpredictability of contributions and benefits and make defined-benefit plans more transparent.
