Last summer I spent time w people in Whitehaven who were being offered coal jobs.They didn’t want Labour to oppose coal jobs w vague promises of green jobs. They wanted specific/tangible action for their community.

Why the public doesn’t buy the idea of a ‘green jobs’ bonanza on.ft.com/4fIETgp

Professional investment teams matter too. Trustees have a fiduciary duty, but they shouldn't make every investment decision. For too long, UK focussed on driving down mgmt fees as a signal of value for money. All this has done is taken the expertise out of investing. Pensioners have suffered.

Why does scale matter? Larger funds generate higher returns as scale allows funds to access different asset classes that offer higher returns while lowering costs. The UK has known this since a DWP review in 2018. Yet we've been slow to act.

The @HMTreasury reforms to consolidate & professionalise UK pensions will benefit pensioners, companies & the economy. As @InstituteGC has said, the UK has the world's 3rd largest pensions market but none of the top 40 funds. The UK has suffered for it. https://buff.ly/40FUF74
