The ONS produce and publish a biennial survey of the wealth and assets of households in Great Britain. Pension wealth is captured alongside property, physical assets and net financial wealth (e.g. savings). Pension wealth is split across two categories: pensions that are defined contribution in nature, and pensions that are defined benefit (DB) in nature. ONS use a model to estimate DB pension wealth based on answers to household survey questions. This model is currently being reviewed by ONS and as part of this review ONS have asked the Government Actuarys Department to support their review and make recommendations on the model.
