Number of DC pension schemes to report on the completion of the wind-up process
FOI reference - FOI-417
Date - 16 October 2025
Request
I understand that when a defined contribution scheme completes wind-up, they are required to notify you of this. I have highlighted an extract, taken from the page winding up your DC scheme.
"If you decide to wind up your scheme, you must notify us when winding up has been triggered and again when the scheme has been formally wound up. You can notify us by updating your scheme’s status using Exchange."
Please provide, for each calendar year available, from 2005 up to the most recent available year, the number of defined contribution pension schemes that have reported to the Pensions Regulator that they have completed wind-up.
