Deconstructing defined contribution as part of your financial wellbeing programme
The defined contribution (DC) landscape continues to evolve, particularly in the areas of plan design, investments, member engagement and supporting those at retirement. Many employers are now looking to review their DC offering as part of their overall financial wellbeing programme to better support employees, particularly in current circumstances.
The transactions and superfunds market
An update from our experts on current opportunities in the bulk annuity and longevity swap markets, including the latest developments in alternative endgame solutions, superfunds and capital-backed solutions.
GMP equalisation: helping you along the way
Our team of specialists share experiences of where schemes are up to with their GMP equalisation projects, and how the latest guidance helps them continue to make good progress. During the session, we go through the full end to end GMP equalisation project, based on our experiences from those schemes who are well progressed with the work.

This session will be of interest to trustees who simply want to know what other pension schemes are doing to make sure they are at the forefront of innovation and corporates who suspect there is a better (lower risk, cost and/or time) way of running their DB pension scheme.

This session we are joined by Kate Grant, Head of Pensions & Benefits at Vodafone who explores their experience of moving to the LifeSight master trust; the practical lessons learnt, the benefits a move can bring and what’s next for Vodafone’s benefit strategy.
