DG Publishing Question Time – The Growing Pains of DC Pensions

Wednesday 10 January, 2018 @ 1:30 pm - 7:00 pm

For DG Publishing's Question Time debate in London, we will look at the UK’s fast growing defined contribution pension fund market, and discuss some of the key challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

This Question Time event is the ideal forum to exchange ideas on the future direction of the DC marketplace and your place in it.

The afternoon seminar will consist of two sessions in a "Question Time" format.

Each of the two sessions will open with contributions from panellists representing major stakeholders in the DC marketplace, following which delegates will have the opportunity to engage in what promises to be a vibrant question and answer debate.

The seminar is an ideal opportunity for participants to assess the DC market and discuss how to improve outcomes for members, authorities and advisers alike. It will be followed by a drinks reception, providing an opportunity to network with leading DC practitioners.

This event will provide genuine insight into the likely shape of investment thinking for the future of the DC sector and will be held under the Chatham House rule to encourage openness and the sharing of information.
