During this breakfast briefing, Christopher Nichols, Investment Director at Standard Life Investments, will focus on the cost vs. value conundrum. He will discuss why active DC Investment Solutions can provide genuine value for DC members.

  • Workshop: Preparing for Retirement - Investment Solutions

    to

    Legal & General Investment Management are delighted to be hosting this mallowstreet University educational workshop on the topic of Preparing for Retirement. Preparing for retirement is an important part of people's lives. Carefully managing the transitional phase when you approach the end of your working life is vitally important for ensuring a comfortable retirement. Some sources of retirement income provide a high degree of predictability. However, in DC schemes, this is more directly dependent on investment returns. Pre-retirement investment strategies that successfully reduce the variability of future retirement income can help people achieve what they really want from their pension savings.

  • The mallowstreet Growth & Yield Drive In

    to

    Across mallowstreet, and the broader pensions industry, there has been considerable discussion about asset classes that provide opportunities for Growth and/or sources of Yield. In the current economic environment, where government bonds no longer provide the yield they once did, and traditional asset classes don’t always produce adequate returns, how can pension funds find opportunities to combat inflation or close their deficit? The morning will start with an economic update to set the scene, then delegates will divide into small working groups that will rotate around three 35 minute presentations looking at these opportunities. The morning is then rounded off with a panel discussion looking back at the themes discussed.
