The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (formerly known as the National Association of Pension Funds or NAPF) is the leading body in the UK for providing representation and other services to those involved in designing, operating, advising and investing in all aspects of workplace pensions. The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association represents 1,300 pension fund members that provide pensions for over 17 million people and have more than £900 billion of assets. Members’ pension schemes include defined benefit, defined contribution, group personal pensions and statutory schemes such as those in Local Government. The Association's membership also includes 400 businesses that provide services to pension funds. These include investment managers, law firms, actuarial consultancies and administrators. Describing itself as the voice of workplace pensions, it aims to help everyone get more out of their retirement savings by spreading best practice among its members, challenge regulation that adds more cost than benefit and promoting policies that add value for savers.〔()〕 ==Role== The Association promotes the interests of pension funds by lobbying government and regulators (such as the Pensions Regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority and EU institutions). It undertakes various research projects covering different aspects of pensions including the size and structure of UK defined benefit and defined contribution schemes, trends in longevity and the changing nature of retirement. Membership of the Association is open to any organisation providing any form of retirement provision for employees and to those providing professional advice and services to pension schemes. It hosts a number of seminars and conferences throughout the year which aim to keep members up-to-date with developments in the pensions industry. The Association also provides various training for members through its Training Academy and policy-related ‘teach-in’ events. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Association of Pension Funds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
