Cost Transparency Standard (CTS)

The IAPF is supporting and facilitating the introduction of the Cost Transparency Standard (CTS) in Ireland with the full support of the Department of Social Protection.
Pension funds will participate in the programme and require their asset managers to complete Cost Transparency Standard (CTS) Templates for every mandate placed with them.
The Pensions Authority has made it clear that it expects asset owners to participate in the Cost Transparency Standard (CTS). The Pensions Authority will closely monitor participation, and has confirmed that, if necessary, it will move to formal legislation to mandateparticipation.
The IAPF is working with ClearGlass to facilitate the introduction and implementation of the Cost Transparency Standard (CTS). ClearGlass has produced the prescribed CTS Templates and will also process the data and present the results to the schemes. Schemes are free to use other means or providers to analyse their costs.
