mallowstreet University Digital Investment Focus: CDI

The majority of DB schemes entered 2021 in a cashflow negative position, with the money coming from contributions less than the amount being paid to retirees. This trend is set to continue, with more schemes experiencing the same shortfall. Given that COVID-19 and its associated consequences will likely remain prevalent throughout 2021, where and how will pension funds access assets that can help build a comprehensive and robust CDI strategy?  


During this online Investment Focus, delegates will break into two rotating Investment Masterclass sessions which will cover key investment opportunities in the area of Cashflow Driven Investing. 


This event is FREE to attend for investment decision makers and their advisers and is available for CPD accreditation.
