DB Week - The state of the DB nation
About the Event
Just a few months ago, defined benefit pensions schemes across the UK had a singular focus on the endgame, weighing up the choice between buyout, self-sufficiency and alternative derisking solutions amid general market calm. The world has since been turned on its head by a global pandemic, prompting the suspension of business operations and swelling DB deficits. Where stakeholders in these sectors have their focus on the balance between short-term damage limitation and long-term security, others are unaffected and surging on, with the regulator now facing the tough task of supervising an industry exhibiting split personalities. As the world rebuilds, how can employers, trustees, advisors and regulators put UK DB on a sound footing for the future? Join Pensions Expert and the FT for a full week of interactive webinars to navigate the tough new terrain in which DB schemes now operate. The week will feature exclusive sessions, ranging from a panel focused on putting endgame planning to the test, to an interview with FT’s Pensions correspondent Josephine Cumbo discussing frameworks for a more predictive journey. Day 5 will feature a keynote from the Pensions Regulator to help both employers and trustees stay one step ahead of future requirements in the sector.
