The IDS Pensions Service has three elements:

• A series of Pensions Handbooks provide comprehensive coverage of key areas such as: the regulatory and tax regimes; scheme design; and trustees’ responsibilities and scheme administration.
• An annual benchmarking review of pension scheme contributions and benefits allows you to benchmark your schemes (whether DB or DC) against those of a wide range of named UK employers.
• The Pensions Bulletin, published ten times a year, brings you the latest news on company pension schemes and summarises regulatory developments. This is backed up by in-depth feature articles on practical issues and by topical comment from leading industry figures.

The IDS Pensions Service is your essential guide to the increasingly complex, diverse and fast-changing world of occupational pensions. The aim is to provide you with accessible, reliable and impartial information that you can put to practical use.

The IDS Pensions Service is used by pension scheme managers, trustees and consultants. It's also used by remuneration, personnel and HR specialists in businesses, public sector and voluntary bodies as well as by trade unions and academics. The IDS Pensions Service is researched and written by an experienced in-house team of specialists.
