Introduction

IAPF BENEFITS CONFERENCE WEEK 'CHALLENGING TIMES

With the transposition of the IORP II Directive, the Pensions Authority’s Code of Practice, the reappearance of inflation, greater focus on sustainable investment, reform of the State Pension, Auto-enrolment and simplification, it is clear there are challenging times ahead for pension schemes and trustees. This conference will examine some of these key challenges, looking at policy and regulatory reform, the challenges and opportunities in a Master Trust World, risk-management, the challenges for trustees, the difficulties in keeping in contact with members and former members.
