What are Defined Contribution (DC) pensions
With a DC pension, the amount being paid in (the contribution) is a known quantity (defined) and usually a percentage of an employee's earnings. The employer makes contributions too. All the contributions are invested to give them the best chance to grow over time. The value of the pension savings at retirement depends on how well they grow while they're invested.
