There has been a lot of press coverage of the problems of defined benefit pension schemes and the actions of directors and company owners.  For example, the pension scheme featured significantly in the debate about the future of Tata Steel, and, of course, there was BHS.

For the Actuary who is also a NED on the Board of a company, the financial health of the DB pension scheme can give rise to a number of challenges, and in some cases decisions may conflict with professional colleagues advising the Trustees and members of the scheme.

Investment Strategy for Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution Pension Funds' is a one day conference providing an update for actuaries on the investment of defined benefit and defined contribution pension funds and on investment topics relevant to actuaries more generally. 

Programme is being rescheduled to 2018

The Highlights in Investments Seminar is a half day event covering four Finance and Investment sessions from the recent Joint Risk, Investment and Pensions Conference. The event is suitable for qualified and nearly qualified actuaries who work in investments or have an interest in this area. 

The school of Mathematical Sciences at Queen Mary, University of London is pleased to present the Annual Actuarial Guest Lecture, featuring speaker Marjorie Ngwenya, FIA, President of the Institute & Faculty of Actuaries on the topic 'Africa, Actuaries and Innovation.’

This session, now in its fourth year, is aimed at senior actuaries working in life insurance - predominantly Chief Actuaries, but also Reviewing Actuaries and others working in risk and financial reporting. 

The session is intended to give participants a briefing on current and upcoming considerations for year end reporting and we are aiming to make it as interactive as possible in order to maximise sharing of perspectives and ideas across the group.

The Intergenerational Fairness Series seeks to raise awareness of the risks posed by not considering long-term implications of public policy, and the potential consequences for younger and future generations.

This event will give an overview of the current and future use of wearables and the Internet of Things (IoT).  

The format of the evening will be a presentation after which we will open up the floor for questions & debate with a panel session, including non actuarial panellists, this will be followed by an opportunity to network over a drink.
