There are often legitimate reasons why companies enter into agreements that contain provisions or obligations that risk restricting competition. In particular, this will be the case where arrangements are concluded in order to generate or promote beneficial effects (so-called 'efficiencies') which, absent the restriction contained in the agreements, would otherwise not arise. In general, such efficiencies derive from vertically or horizontally aligned companies working together to achieve something that individually they could not otherwise achieve—or at least not as efficiently (due to financial, technical, and/or logistical issues). Research and development, production, purchase, and distribution/sales activities represent distinct stages in the supply chain—with firms at each stage deciding whether to undertake the given process alone or with others. Where collective rather than individual action is deemed optimal, parties might agree on restraints or obligations deemed necessary to protect an investment in relation to, for example, the development of a geographical market, a technology, a production plant, or an industrial process or, alternatively, to increase the parties' purchasing power vis-à-vis a powerful supplier. More commonly, restraints

This is a pooled investment vehicle designed as a tax wrapper for groups of smaller investment vehicles, such as unit trusts and open ended investment companies (OEICs). They are a means of investing pension assets in unit and investment trusts in accordance with the member's choice and can be changed according to the individual's preferences over a working lifetime.

This guide is primarily aimed at trainees, newly qualified lawyers and other persons who are new to or unfamiliar with pensions law. THIS PRACTICE NOTE APPLIES MAINLY TO TRUST-BASED OCCUPATIONAL PENSION SCHEMES The ability to transfer accrued pension rights from one pension scheme to another is an important aspect of the pensions arena. It is, however, potentially complex and wide-ranging, with varying rules depending upon the exact circumstances of each proposed transfer, including whether the transfer relates to a single member or is part of a bulk transfer exercise and, crucially, the nature of the transferring and receiving schemes. This beginners’ guide provides an overview of the different types of individual pension transfers which can occur. For information on bulk pension transfers, see Practice Note: Bulk transfers between occupational pension schemes. DB transfers from occupational pension schemes Except for certain members whose pensionable service terminated before 1 January 1986, members of DB occupational pension schemes have a statutory right to transfer the cash equivalent value of their scheme benefits to another pension

Intended by the government to eventually replace pensions, so as to increase cash flow for the government. Much of its success (in pension terms) will depend on withdrawal of tax neutrality for pension systems.

Individual savings accounts (ISAs) are tax-free funds in which UK residents can hold a range of different investments. Originally, these were cash or stocks and shares products held by those over 16 years of age, but in November 2011 the Junior ISA was launched which allows tax-free cash accounts to be set up for the benefit of those under 16. Innovative finance ISAs were introduced with effect from 6 April 2016. Help to buy ISAs were introduced from 1 December 2015 as a tax-free cash account aimed at encouraging first-time buyers to save for a UK residential property. As well as receiving interest on the balance tax-free, the government will supplement the amount saved with a 25% bonus (up to a maximum of £3,000) when the property is purchased. These ISAs are closed to new savers with effect from 1 December 2019, although anyone with an existing help to buy ISAs can keep saving into the account until 30 November 2029. Those who accrued savings in a help to buy ISA before 6 April 2017 could transfer

Statutory right to cash equivalent • Members of defined benefit occupational pension schemes have a statutory right to transfer the cash equivalent value of their scheme benefits to certain other pension arrangements. • Since 30 November 2021, this statutory right to transfer is subject to the satisfaction of either of two conditions set out in the Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Conditions for Transfers) Regulations 2021, SI 2021/1237 (Conditions for Transfer Regs).
