Annual Pensions Conference 2021 | Lane Clark & Peacock LLP | 25 November 2021 | 30 Euston Square, London NW1 2FB, UK

Survival or success?
How to navigate choppy waters and a surge of regulation

We are excited to invite you to LCP’s first ever hybrid annual pensions conference.

This year we take a deep dive under the waves of the current regulatory changes which affect all those connected with pension schemes – trustees, sponsors and administrators – in a way like never before.

In such a fast-paced world with ever-increasing regulatory requirements, this is a chance to step back and reflect on some of the bigger issues affecting schemes right now. Our conference includes a packed agenda covering a range of topical subjects from climate change to pension scams. Our speakers will provide clear, practical takeaways to help direct you on a path to success.

We look forward to seeing you at what will be an interesting, insightful and informative event.

Who should attend?
Pensions Trustees, Pensions Managers, C-Suite

• What’s on the Pensions Regulator’s agenda?

• The importance of journey planning, and what it means in practice
Jon Forsyth will speak about journey planning, including the importance of having a strategic plan and prioritizing resources in the face of such a huge amount on pension scheme agendas.

This talk by Dan Mikulskis will cover steps that any pension scheme can take to align their portfolio with Net Zero.

Daniel Jacobson will cover changes to the legislation around the statutory right to transfer and what it means for trustees.

• The potential enduring legacy of Covid-19 on mortality
