What can and has gone wrong: Prevention & Cure

The economic environment has highlighted the many risks associated with managing occupational pension schemes. Recent legislation and regulation have set the benchmarks for reducing risk. However, with the increasing complexities confronting trustees and employers, this Conference will highlight examples of what can and has gone wrong and provide practical guidance on how to minimise these risks.

Leading industry experts will focus on:

• What protection do you have against these risks?
• DB case study risks and solutions - the legal and financial aspects of: the employer covenant,
   scheme funding, ownership changes, communication
• DC case study risks - investment, administration and communication
• The Pensions Regulator’s expectation - DB & DC schemes
• Failures - actual case studies and claim examples, DC investment, insurance protection and solutions

Who should attend?

Trustees, pension managers, finance directors, HR directors and advisors to pension schemes and sponsoring employers.

Eligible for Continuous Professional Development points
