      Webinar: Using passion for ESG to unleash member engagement

      This webinar will look at how pension schemes can harness their members’ interest in ESG to engage them more broadly with their pensions. In particular, it will look at exclusive research showing how members are reacting to ESG; their propensity to act versus their actual behaviour; and the expectations they have of providers in this regard.

    • How DC schemes can gain exposure to different asset classes in a low-return environment

      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).

      Pension freedoms three years on

      In 2015 George Osborne, then the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, decided that those age over 55 could take much more of their pension in cash. This has since opened up a range of possibilities for DC scheme members in the world of pensions.

The BT Pension Scheme (BTPS) has announced the appointment of three new trustees to its board.

Emily Clark, Nigel Cotgrove and David Viles will join the BTPS trustee board from 1 April 2020, replacing Billy McClory, Jim McInally and John Wroe who are retiring at the end of March.

Clark has been the chief economist of BT Group since 2016. Prior to joining BT, she was a director at a City law firm providing economic advice and analysis on a range of competition matters, particularly to clients in the technology, media, telecom and financial sectors.

Their depth of knowledge and broad expertise will be invaluable as we continue to improve the service we provide to members whilst navigating the complex challenges facing the scheme.

"My thanks to Billy, Jim and John for their many years of dedicated service and expert counsel."
