On September 7, ISDA wrote to European authorities to highlight the risks posed to EU banks, investment firms and pension funds, as well as UK pension funds, by the fact that UK pension funds will cease to benefit from the exemption under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) clearing obligation for pension scheme arrangements following the end of the Brexit transition period on December 31, 2020. The letter sets out a number of proposed solutions that European authorities could adopt to mitigate the impact. This change in regulatory treatment will have cost and other implications for affected pension scheme arrangements, their counterparties and citizens whose retirement income depends on these investments.
