Webinar: Applying an integrated approach to investment and risk management of DB pension schemes to achieve future funding outcomes

This event will be run as a live webinar using Zoom. Click here for information on using Zoom.

 

With Trustees and advisers of DB pension schemes continuing to grapple with combined challenges of deficits, increasing scheme maturity and reaching funding targets; Insight will share their thoughts on how investment, risk management and liability valuations can be better integrated to deliver reliable future funding outcomes.

In this event, Insight will:

  • revisit the DB pensions challenge;
  • provide context to the role that assets need to play in an integrated approach and cover how this can deliver an alternative methodology for liability valuations; and
  • discuss the portfolio implications and practical challenges of implementing an integrated approach.
