Overview

On multiple fronts, 2022 proved to be one of the most challenging years on record, including for those responsible for DC pension schemes and their members.

Please watch our webinar where, against the backdrop of 2022, we consider what should be front of mind for DC fiduciaries in 2023 and beyond.

Topics to be covered include:

• Navigating the current cost of living pressures
  
  Trustees, sponsors and advisors alike have spent years trying to get individuals to engage with their DC pension savings in isolation, with little recognition of individuals’ broader financial wellbeing needs. With the Cost of Living crisis consuming most people’s immediate financial (and mental) budgets, there has never been a more important time to consider and integrate your DC strategy and communications within a broader financial wellbeing framework.
  
  
• Sustainability in focus
  
  Pension schemes will inevitably come under more scrutiny as regulation develops, and sustainability will continue to affect risk, returns and reputation. In this section we will provide insight into how you can navigate the increasingly complex, and political and regulatory influenced arena of meeting your sustainability obligations.
  
  
• Emerging trends in DC provision 
  
  As well as providing insights for hundreds of individual employers about how their schemes are running, our DC MOT has generated valuable information about the overall state of DC pensions in the UK. This section of the webinar will share practical insights gathered to help bring to life the incremental steps you can take to enhance what your DC scheme offers to members

At the core of Mercer’s DC offering, we continue to believe in the power of leveraging data to deliver better insights and ultimately help drive better outcomes for your members. Therefore, during the webinar we will share practical insights gathered from a survey of over 300 UK DC schemes to help bring to life the incremental steps you can take to enhance what your DC scheme offers to members.
