The UK Pensions Primer
Published on Monday 03 August 2026, The Pensions Policy Institute launched the 2026 edition of the UK Pensions Primer.
The Primer is the PPI's comprehensive annual guide to the UK pensions system. Whether you're new to pensions policy or looking for a reliable reference, it provides a clear, accessible overview of how State and private pensions work, together with the latest policy and legislative developments.
The UK Pensions Primer forms part of the PPI's core programme of work, with its continued publication made possible through the support of our Supporters.
