We are in a period of political change and also change in pensions. This coffee morning will focus on how pensions can change the way capital is managed in the UK.
The new forces influencing pensions are talking about effective investments that drive forward investment in Britain.
Andy Haldane last week made a speech at the British Chamber of Commerce in which he suggested those who don’t invest to make Britain more productive may not receive full tax relief on contributions, Will Hutton is mentioned in the speech which you can read here.
Ashok Gupta is Chair of Mercer and a Director of New Capital Consensus. He is director of Finstic and E-value and a driving force behind innovation.
Will Hutton has been editor in chief of the Observer, Principal of Hertford College Oxford and Chief Executive of the Workplace Foundation

Here’s the invite
Anything Will Hutton has to say about Economics is likely to be barge-pole territory.
People seem to be split on Will Hutton because he is a serious critic of Anglo-American laissez-faire capitalism, but he is also a reformist who often leaves opponents unconvinced that his alternatives are practical or internally consistent.
Supporters see him as a useful voice on short-termism, weak investment, inequality, and corporate governance; critics see a writer whose proposals can sound too broad-brush, too paternalistic, or too dependent on a rosy view of “stakeholder” capitalism.
Rather than snipe from afar, “dearieme”, why don’t you sign up for Tuesday’s webinar and hear him out?
