The economic environment has highlighted the many risks associated with managing occupational pension schemes. Recent legislation and regulation have set the benchmarks for reducing risk. However, with the increasing complexities confronting trustees and employers, this Conference will highlight examples of what can and has gone wrong and provide practical guidance on how to minimise these risks.

Leading industry experts will focus on:

• What protection do you have against these risks?
• DB case study risks and solutions - the legal and financial aspects of: the employer covenant, scheme funding, ownership changes, communication
• DC case study risks - investment, administration and communication
• The Pensions Regulator’s expectation - DB & DC schemes
• Failures - actual case studies and claim examples, DC investment, insurance protection and solutions

There will be panel debate and ample opportunity for questions.

In accordance with its aims of helping to raise standards of trusteeship and pension scheme management, OPDU is pleased to be jointly hosting this Conference with its underwriters ACE European Group Limited at no charge to delegates.
