Location: The One O’Clock Gun, Unit 3a, Britannia Pavilion, Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool, L3 4AD

On Tuesday 13 October 2026, Moore Squared Communications and Untamed Consulting will be co-hosting a panel discussion at the Pensions UK Annual Conference in Liverpool. We’ll be discussing: Beyond the Bottom Line at The One O’Clock Gun, a five minute walk from the conference centre in Liverpool.

The pensions industry used to be judged largely on two things: investment performance and cost.  Now, the brief is wider. The bottom line still matters. But it’s not the only line that counts.

Today, we’re being asked to balance better retirement outcomes, value for money, member engagement, sustainability, inclusion, economic growth and decumulation support, all while facing fee pressure, consolidation, regulation, political scrutiny and growing operational complexity.

So we’re asking: Has the pensions industry quietly been handed a much bigger brief?  And if it has, who decides what matters most?

We’ll be sharing some new research that will tell us.

We’ll be sharing some new research that will tell us all more about what asset owners are seeing, prioritising and where the pressure is being felt.

Charlotte Moore, co-founder of Moore Squared Communications, will chair the panel discussion exploring the tensions shaping the future of the sector, from scale and competition to innovation, regulation, adequacy, affordability, governance and commercial reality.

Joining Charlotte Moore, will be Darren Philp, co-founder and director of Untamed ConsultingDaniela SilcockDaniela Silcock Pensions Research, pensions consultant , who will lead the research and present the findings, and we are awaiting confirmation from our final panelist.
