    Brief

    This research opportunity seeks an organization to conduct economic modelling using stochastic (probabilistic) models to evaluate the viability, benefits, and challenges of Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) pension schemes in the UK. CDC schemes represent a new pension structure that combines elements of defined benefit and defined contribution plans. The research will use sophisticated statistical modelling techniques to simulate various economic scenarios and outcomes, helping policymakers and pension industry stakeholders understand the financial implications and operational considerations of implementing this pension type. The successful contractor will deliver quantitative analysis, scenario modelling, and evidence-based insights to support decision-making around CDC pension scheme adoption and regulation.
