WorldPensionSummit UK Pension Fund Tour & Debrief 2022 | Pensions & Investments | 20 June 2022 | TBA

They will share their knowledge on effective strategies to target and engage participants, reflect on auto enrolment, portfolio construction and cutting edge plan design in an effort to deliver better retirement outcomes for their participants. We look at different DC and CDC constructions and key-learnings from pioneers in the field.

The defined contribution train shows no sign of stopping in the UK, with these plans accounting for 19% of total assets at the end of 2020. While DC plans have long been an option for UK employees, the market really took off in 2012 with the introduction of automatic enrolment. Since that date, more than 10 million workers have joined a DC plan through the workplace.

Amid a flood of money and new members, the UK DC market is increasingly under scrutiny: regulators are closely watching the development and running of master trusts; the government wants to unlock DC assets to encourage investment in alternative asset classes; and sponsoring employers continue their work to address adequacy, value for money and engagement concerns for their participants.

The UK DC industry is also having to contend with calls from regulators and the government to further consolidate plans, as well as new models such as collective DC.

Who can attend?
• An exclusive group of 15-20 c-suite level pension fund executives is invited to join on a full day of presentations and insightful debate. We are very carefully considering the composition of the group and are balancing representation of diverse regionality, fund size, fund type and diversity criteria. Only asset owners can apply for a complimentary seat on the bus.
