FT Live, in association with Standard Life Investments, is pleased to present this executive forum on future trends in Defined Contribution (DC) pensions.

A 'perfect storm' of ongoing economic instability, uncertainty over the financial impact of upcoming regulatory changes and ageing populations continues to put huge pressure on pension funds to deliver good outcomes for members - outcomes that traditional lifestyle fund management approaches are failing to deliver in the current climate.

This half-day forum will focus on new investment solutions and active fund management strategies which aim to produce better investment outcomes for DC fund members.

DISCUSSION TOPICS:

• Investment strategies, in particular the role of diversified, multi-asset funds in achieving higher returns with lower volatility
• The need for more active investment strategies in the deccumulation phase given the trend towards flexible retirement
• Overcoming barriers to transferring DB investment strategies and solutions to DC schemes
• The changing role of the fund manager in member engagement, governance and education

CONFIRMED FT CHAIR AND SPEAKERS INCLUDE:

Michael Imeson Associate Editor Financial Times Live

Carol Young Pensions Manager Heineken

Paul Todd Head of Investment Policy NEST
