I am sorry not to have been at or publicised this brilliant session. I didn’t publicise it due to a failure to get into my own website and I didn’t attend due to some medical matters,
Here is a recording what I (and maybe you) missed.
Laasya Shekaran, Director at Pensions for Purpose was in charge. She probably think I’ve gone off her – precisely the opposite – what a great talk!
The big topic in the pensions industry over the past week has been DB surpluses, with the UK government announcing they are going to introduce new measures to allow for surplus release within DB pension schemes
In this presentation Laasya and the eminent audience discussed:
- How DB surplus could be used to drive better outcomes for members, society and the environment
- What this change in surplus regime could mean for investment strategies – including impact investing, illiquid allocations and endgame decisions!
- How we can ensure existing DB members are protected… while also considering the futures of DC members
- How this fits into the broader pensions and policy landscape
Laasya has a BSc in Maths from Warwick University and before joining Pensions for Purpose, she was a Senior Investment Consultant at LCP.
