The London Defined Contribution Drive In

New rules take effect this year, dramatically altering the Defined Contribution Landscape.  This, combined with continued evolving government policy is causing significant disruption in the Defined Contribution ecosystem. 

This half day interactive and educational seminar will examine the likely fall out from these changes, starting with an overview on some of the new legal requirements facing trustees.  Delegates will then breakout into interactive workshops with leading managers to gain an understanding of how the investment universe is innovating to adapt to these changes.

The morning will finish with a panel of trustees and consultants taking questions from the floor (and the mallowstreet.com community) about how it is currently working in practice.

This seminar qualifies for CPD points, and is open to trustees and their advisors.
