Webinar description:
The past ten years have seen a transformation in the defined contribution landscape, with auto-enrolment seeing millions of savers entering a pension scheme for the first time and assets under management in such schemes soaring to around £490bn last year.
During the past decade, investment has changed dramatically and basic low-cost default options are evolving into more sophisticated investment strategies – options that utilise assets such as illiquids and target-date funds and integrate ESG strategies into the heart of the offering.
This webinar will take a look at the evolution of DC investment, look at the DC innovation currently in the market and ask what the future holds.
