Understand the impact of IORP II Directive on Irish occupational pensions schemes.
10:30 - 11:30
This webinar will look at the IORP II Directive, the EU’s pension fund legislation, which has finally been transposed into Irish law – more than two years after the intended deadline.
While some further guidance and a code of practice from the Pensions Authority will be required in order to outline the practical implementation of the Directive, it is clear it will have a significant impact on Irish Occupational Pension Schemes, including one-member schemes such as SSAPs and Executive Pension Plans.
Additional complexity for Trustees and Employers, and new investment restrictions for members are some of the immediate implications that will need to be planned for. Join Andy Dixon and Terry Devitt from Harvest Financial Services for a presentation on the impact of IORPS II on Irish Pension funds; and how clients might consider the investment of their pension plans within the new guidelines.
