The UK Financial Conduct Authority is rolling out a new performance tracking framework for pension funds using a color-coded system. This four-tier 'traffic light' approach aims to give investors clearer visibility into how their retirement portfolios are actually performing.

What's interesting here is how this mirrors what crypto and Web3 platforms are experimenting with—transparent, visual performance metrics that don't require deep technical knowledge. As institutional players move more assets into digital finance, we'll likely see similar standardization push through in crypto fund disclosures.

The initiative reflects a broader shift toward making asset performance comparisons easier for retail investors. Whether traditional finance or decentralized protocols, the demand for simple, comparable metrics keeps growing.
