mallowstreet Investment Focus: Defined Contribution

Defined Contribution investment continues to develop at pace, with a broader opportunity set, changing regulation and increasing expectations around the outcomes schemes deliver for members. As 2027 draws to a close, this Investment Focus provides an opportunity to consider what these developments could mean for the next phase of DC strategy.


Through a series of interactive Investment Masterclasses, delegates will engage with leading asset managers to explore investment ideas and approaches that could influence portfolios in the years ahead. From diversification and private market access to sustainable investment, retirement solutions and evolving portfolio design, the morning will focus on where innovation can translate into meaningful member value.


Bringing together trustees, pension professionals and advisers, the event creates an intimate environment for questioning, discussion and peer exchange. Delegates will leave with fresh perspectives to inform future investment conversations and help position DC portfolios for the opportunities and challenges ahead.


This event is FREE to attend for investment decision makers and their advisers, and is accredited for CPD points by the Pensions Management Institute (PMI).


At mallowstreet we adhere to a principles-based approach to ensure a meaningful and respectful experience for all attendees. We believe that upholding these principles will contribute to a thriving and inclusive professional environment. Please review our Code of Conduct here: Code of Conduct
