This webinar – held in association with Punter Southall – will offer a rare opportunity to hear from one of the founders, Jonathan Punter, about how technology and innovation influenced the ebb and flow of the business and the pension industry as a whole. He will explain how the entrepreneurial spirit which created the firm 35 years ago is still very present today.

He will be joined by Richard Jones who will discuss how the latest innovation to come out of the group is meeting the needs of DB schemes and offering them a new means of meeting their long-term objectives.

In this session they will explore:

  • The role of technology, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit has had in shaping the pension industry.
  • Discuss new innovations they see making a real difference to pension schemes and their members.
  • How capital-backed journey plans could offer DB pension schemes a new means of meeting long-term objectives
