Why Attend
This one-day conference will be different to the hackneyed pension conference formula. We are reversing the usual trend of a few asset owners and lots of asset managers to ensure our attendees can make the most of their time out of the office.
Connect
A conference comes into its own when there is excellent networking. We're creating the perfect environment for this to happen — asset owners will outnumber managers. And we'll be giving you practical networking tips as well as the opportunity to put them into practice.
Innovate
We are breaking with the stale pension event formula by unveiling new independent research. Our panel discussions will cover all sources of pension capital and their independence will help managers to build future growth.
Originate
Our fresh analysis and independent panel discussion which focus on asset owner challenges. Attendees will walk away from our event with insight they can use to create future flows.
Confirmed Speakers
Key Themes
The programme covers all four sources of UK pension capital. We have designed the day so the morning will focus on current pension assets and the afternoon on future wealth. For each pot of capital, the discussion will focus on the area of most innovation.
Defined Benefit
Is run-on creating a new superfund market? We'll look at how pension fund surplus has changed the purpose of the DB superfund, and how these new funds will invest.
Insurers
Are insurance investment opportunities evolving? For years, insurance was a closed shop managing assets in house — but we'll explore how organisations are now open to working with third-party players.
Local Government Pension Scheme
We'll discuss the results of our research looking at whether members value an income for life more highly than a pension pot, and the investment implications.
Defined Contribution
We'll unpack the research into which retirement income option members prefer, and the investment implications.
