    • 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.

Professional Pensions is holding a webinar on how the pensions industry can make a real impact when it comes to ESG – asking what is better, to engage or to divest.

The webinar - held in partnership with Scottish Widows - will take place on Thursday 26 November at 2pm.

Speakers at the event will include Department for Work and Pensions senior policy adviser David Farrar; Church of England Pensions Board deputy director of ethics and engagement Stephen Barrie; Scottish Widows head of pension investments Maria Nazarova-Doyle; Hymans Robertson senior DC investment consultant Callum Stewart; and ShareAction pensions industry campaign manager Lauren Peacock.

In particular, this webinar will discuss:

•             What is more effective, divestment or engagement?

•             What are the pros and cons of each approach?

•             Where should pension providers draw the line on exclusions?

•             How do you use ESG to provide a stable long-term return for your customers?

•             What are member expectations around what their pension scheme should and shouldn't invest in?

•             Should ESG be mainstreamed in savings or a choice for specialist savers?
