I don’t understand much about this but with the people who are on the other side of the coffee morning on Tuesday, I know it will be fun, stimulating and well worth attending!

Nahim Nahidi

Please join us for our next Coffee Morning event …..Risk – to be or not to be.

The UK is moving to a largely DC pension system (and potentially CDC). Ideally, in DC, the investment/decumulation options reflect the risk preferences of citizens, but the industry has a tendency to offer “one-size-fits-all” solutions or “lifecycle funds” that fit nobody.

This session will explore the results of a risk preference survey conducted by Professor Narmin Nahidi of Exeter University.

Dr Narmin Nahidi is an Assistant Professor of Finance at the University of Exeter, where she teaches across finance topics with a focus on degree apprenticeships. With over two decades of combined experience in academia and industry, her research explores the intersection of corporate finance, financial technology (FinTech), and behavioral finance increasingly extending into issues of sustainability, ESG accountability, and climate risk in financial systems.

Narmin’s work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences. She holds a Ph.D. in Finance from Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), and a Certified Management & Business Educator (CMBE). She is passionate about equipping future finance professionals with the tools to navigate a rapidly evolving and sustainability-conscious global economy.

Narmin will be joined by Arun Muralidhar and Sid Muralidhar and they will discuss their findings on whether risk preferences differ based on age, gender, education, occupation, religion or even geography.

These results could help improve regulation, product design, innovation for greater retirement security.

If you could please take this anonymous survey (before the event) and share it with friends and family (ideally those not in the pension/financial services industry), it would help them make a fun presentation to the group.
