Pensions Winter Forum 2021 |
---|
Over recent months there has been a sharp rise in M&A activity involving British businesses, with interest from overseas, domestic buyers and Private Equity investors. In many cases the businesses at the centre of this sponsor substantial defined benefit pension schemes, Morrisons and Meggitt being recent examples. The ramifications of new owners, and the change in financing structure this often brings with it can have significant implications on the resources available to support the pension scheme over both the short and longer-term. Potential bidders may be wary of the long-term commitments involved with the pension scheme, while trustees will wish to ensure their members’ interests are protected. Against this backdrop the Pension Schemes Act 2021 introduces new requirements and sanctions designed to prevent changes to businesses being to the detriment of pension schemes. Discussions in this session included recent trends in the pensions aspects of corporate transactions, and the implications of PSA 2021 with four professionals actively involved in the market, with very different backgrounds and experience. Also discussed: Speakers: Alex Hutton-Mills, Cardano Advisory. Alex is a Senior Managing Director and co-founder of Cardano Advisory (formerly known as Lincoln Pensions), Susan Anyan, Capital Cranfield, Dawn Heath, Freshfields, Richard Pinder, LCP, Helen Draper (Chair). Pensions Winter Forum: Practical aspects of blending annuities and drawdown in retirement The IFoA Policy Briefing 'Can we help consumers avoid running out of money in retirement' examined the benefits of blending a lifetime annuity with income drawdown. Panellists, including providers and advisers, will look at the market practicalities of taking the actuarial theory through into the core advice propositions used by IFAs and Fund Managers. They will share a number of practical issues such as investment consequences before and after retirement and the level of annuity that is appropriate and answer questions from the audience. Speakers: Adrian Boulding, Chairman, Spire Platform Solutions, Adrian Boulding; Emma Watkins, Managing Director of Retirement and Longstanding, Scottish Widows Watkins; Rupert Smith, IFA; Andrew Gilbert, Head of Product Development, Growth & Innovation, Just Retirement (Actuary); Peter Ellis, CEO, Spire Platform Solutions Peter Ellis (Chair) Pensions Winter Forum: Pensions and Sustainability - challenges for actuaries With a focus on climate change, this session provided informed insight to enable you to improve your knowledge and understanding of the issues involved, demonstrated how it will impact advice to your clients, and highlighted prospective opportunities for actuaries within pensions and wider fields. Speaker: Neil Mitchell, University of Manchester’s Global Development Institute Pensions Winter Forum: Pension Scams Pension scams have become more prevalent as a result of the pandemic, and Trustees have increased responsibilities to protect members, which means that actuaries need to be in a position to provide advice in this area. Our specialist panel included a professional trustee, an IFA, and head administrator, two of whom are members of PASA. You will hear, on the webinar recording, about the latest pension scam trends, tPR’s pledge, and real case studies. Speakers: Sean Browes, Dalriada Trustees; James Ellison, Chief Operating Offcer, WPS Advisory, and Chair DB TV Working Group at PASA; Girish Menezes, Head of Admin at Premier Pensions, Director of the Pensions Administration Standards Association and on the Advisory Council of the Pensions Management Institute. |

Pensions: Actuarial Factors used to Calculate Benefits in UK Pension Schemes The IFoA’s Actuarial Review Team has published its first thematic review, which looked at the actuarial advice given by scheme actuaries to UK pension scheme trustees on setting transfer values and commutation rates. This is the first time the IFoA has been able to review independently, in a regulatory context, the standard of work being carried out in practice by actuaries. This webinar gives members the opportunity to learn about the Review, its findings and recommendations and provides a forum for feedback and discussion. |
