14th Annual Pensions Conference

Who should attend

This conference is relevant to finance directors, in-house lawyers, trustees, pensions professionals, plus HR directors with responsibility for pensions.

Synopsis

When over ten million auto-enrolled savers are enabled to access their pensions dashboard easily on their phone screen a revolution really is in prospect. There is a growing focus on ESG investing for the long term, as well as increasing consolidation to reduce cost and risk. Along with better governance measures, is this a pensions framework that is future-fit? This conference considers the many ways in which significant change is underway in how retirement benefits are structured, provided and developed.
