You and me!
CLICK – 1st pillar – (quick explanation)
CLICK – 2nd pillar (quick explanation)
CLICK – 3rd pillar (quick explanation). We should note that in DC this can mean scheme choice or member choice...In the case of personal savings, it is about individual choice.
Defined Benefit pension schemes are closing more quickly than previously thought – today, only 3 DB pension funds of FTSE 100 companies remain fully open to new members
The shift from DB to DC is also being accelerated as DB plans increasingly close to existing members – this is particularly true of the US and the UK.
This is a very significant trend for Schroders given that around half of all our Institutional assets are in DB (c. £40 billion) and we need to defend these assets as well as building on the emerging opportunity
So, what does this opportunity look like from market to market? CLICK

CLICK – 1. The US
The largest and most important pensions market in the world with over $13 trillion (around 55% of which is in DC) – also offers one of the biggest opportunities for our business. The majority of this is in “member choice”, achievable via the Intermediary channel.
CLICK – 2. Japan
While Japan has the second largest pension market in the world in aggregate, its DC market is tiny due to the absence of tax benefits – as such, Japan is not a key priority market for us at the moment...
CLICK – 3. The UK
The third largest pension market in the world and, in the case of Schroders, the market accounting for around half of our entire DB business.
The UK is the market which has been most affected by the shift from DB to DC and is a major focus for our business strategy in this area.
CLICK – 4. Australia
Australia is a good example of a DC market which is scheme choice, so Institutional in nature. It’s also a market where Schroders already has a significant presence.
CLICK – 5. Switzerland
Switzerland is Europe’s 3rd largest overall pension market and the most significant DC market on the Continent....
CLICK – 6. Chile
Chile is particularly interesting as an emerging market – the first to introduce compulsory savings in The market is still comparatively small but has grown dramatically over that time – the power of the emerging economies.
What I am saying is that market opportunities vary significantly by size AND The markets are heterogeneous with individual countries exhibiting markedly different characteristics: we need a differentiated approach market-by market...
We do already have a DC business which has been built over the last 7-8 years CLICK
