      So far, DC plans have largely been focused on the onset of auto-enrolment and changes to the regulatory framework - be it the ‘charge cap,' ‘pension freedoms' or consultations around ‘value for money', says Annabel Tonry, Executive Director at J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM).

Compulsory fiduciary management and retendering: how smaller schemes are disproportionately impacted
The CMA's recent fiduciary management reforms were intended to promote industry competition and improve value for pension scheme customers.

Institutional Guide to ETFs

ETFs are an integral part of the investment process for many institutional investors, traders and risk managers. They are changing the way institutions construct portfolios, fine-tune risk and manage operational tasks like cash management and portfolio transitions.

One of the drivers of ETF growth is the ease and speed with which ETFs enable investors to express their investment views; this makes trade execution one of a number of important factors driving ETF investors' returns.

The 2018 Guide to ETFs highlights how institutions are using ETFs across asset classes to improve portfolio outcomes.
