Introduction

'Your Decisions - Their Future'

IAPF Investment Conference 2010

The investment decisions Trustees are making today will have a real impact on the future of members when they retire. Investment decisions are key to the success of pension provision and one of the most difficult areas for trustees. This conference will look at some of the fundamental issues currently facing trustees who are trying to make sense of recent experience in order to plan for the future. With a heavy emphasis on trustees and schemes sharing their experience in order to help others in similar situations, this conference is a must for anyone involved in the investment decision making process.

Who should go?
Pension Scheme Trustees and Managers, Pension and Investment Professionals, HR and Finance Managers and other company executives.
