Review of the Default Fund Charge Cap and Standardised Cost Disclosure

This call for evidence is seeking views on the effectiveness of costs, charges and transparency measures in protecting pension member outcomes.

The document progresses the commitment made by government following the 2017 review of the charge cap to re-examine the scope and level of the charge cap in 2020, and to review permitted charging structures.

This call for evidence seeks views and evidence on the following:

• the level and scope of the charge cap applicable to the default arrangement within certain Defined Contribution pension schemes used for Automatic Enrolment
• the appropriateness of permitted charging structures and the extent to which they should be limited
• options to assess take-up, and widen the use of standardised cost disclosure templates
