Legislation currently requires pension schemes to provide annual information and illustrations to scheme members about their pension pots. We are considering how members should be informed of the costs and charges that effect their pension savings.

As part of the review of automatic enrolment we are looking at where more effective engagement could drive greater personal ownership and enable people to understand and maximise their savings. This review is due to report to Parliament at the end of the year.
