One week to go until Financial Times Live's DC leadership event
Editor's blog: On Wednesday May 7 we will be hosting pensions policymakers, decision-makers and industry experts for a half-day conference at the Financial Times, as part of our Leadership of Pensions series. Delegate passes are still available, so don't miss out!
You would have to have been sitting in a nuclear bunker to have missed the colossal amount of regulatory and legislative requirements being lumped onto trust-based and contract-based schemes – from the regulator's DC code to the government's scheme quality requirements – and this event will provide practical case studies and discussion of how that burden can be carried.
All details on the event are here, and suffice to say the great and good of the DC pensions world will be in attendance, the day kicking off with pensions minister Steve Webb and his shadow, Gregg McClymont.
It will finish with a discussion of the regulatory outlook featuring the Association of British Insurer's Otto Thoresen and the Pension Regulator's executive director for DC, Andrew Warwick-Thompson.
In between we will have discussions on investment, member engagement and governance with scheme representatives including HSBC's Lesley Alexander and Kingfisher's Dermot Courtier.
It will be held here at the FT (One Southwark Bridge, London SE1 9HL). To register, click here for contact details.
