GMP Equalisation: grasping the nettle

There is massive unrest in the marketplace around this specific regulation, with a lot of uncertainty and a good deal of hesitancy from schemes to be pro-active in preparing for GMP Equalisation. Although this is no excuse for firms to continue postponing the problem – they must start assessing their data and getting on with the corrections that they will inevitably have to carry out.
