First Actuarial published its latest First Briefing on the new surplus regulations and the Pension Schemes Act 2026.

First Actuarial helps trustees and employers provide the best possible pensions and employee benefits. As part of our services, we support scheme members and employees in making informed decisions about their money. We’re known for our fresh approach. We put the client first at all times. And we challenge conventional thinking whenever necessary to get the best possible outcomes for trustees, employers and their people.
