Yesterday’s pension conference was something of a triumph. The agenda is here
I have a few highlights that include Hayley James speaking on our behaviour and David Walker and Ben Fox on investment can make us resilient when times are hard.
They have found a new place for pension folk to meet and their hall was packed to the rafters (where I was – they called it the balcony but that was full too!)
Sadly I missed a few sessions as I was being pulled by Pension PlayPen in the morning and Prospect in the afternoon. But that didn’t stop me attending the breakout session after lunch which pitted Simon True of superfund Clara with Louise Lindsay DB scheme SAUK and Lisa Leas of Hymans.
Last but not least was Adrian Boulding talking as a potential proprietor of a workplace CDC.
I’m not just saying this because I was invited, I’m saying so because I found every minute enervating. Please can we have pension conferences in London as good as this!

Dr Hayley James leads out in the morning
In my view, these women were anything but poor men!
