Schroders & Longview Networks DC Investment Survey 2026: key findings
Schroders and Longview Networks reveal the findings of their inaugural DC Investment Survey
For the UK’s defined contribution (DC) schemes, 2026 will be a year of change becoming the new constant. The upcoming Pensions Bill, Value for Money (VfM) framework and the Mansion House Accord are set to create a wide range of investment implications.
Set against this backdrop, our inaugural DC Investment Survey — in partnership with Schroders — set out to explore how schemes are positioning their portfolios and bracing for impact. The full set of results are now live.
The survey was well received with 56 responses coming in from both master and single trust DC schemes. Collectively, respondents manage over £198bn on behalf of 1.3m employers and represent over 70% of master trust signatories to the Mansion House Accord, providing the industry with a timely and credible overview of the direction of DC investment travel.
