Aon Hewitt Governance Breakfast Series 2017

7.45am - 9.00am

Since DB pension schemes were set up in the 1970s, the economy, investments and globalisation have all changed. The pensions industry now has its own regulator and the Pensions Protection Fund. In almost 50 years, the one thing that has stayed the same is the way that pension schemes are governed.

Against this backdrop, we spent time with key individuals from 25 of the largest DB pension schemes in the UK to explore how they approach their governance and whether there is such a thing as ‘good’ investment governance in today’s challenging pension’s environment.

As part of this research, we are hosting a series of round-table breakfast sessions for a small number of senior pension scheme trustees and executives. In a Chatham house rules setting, we will discuss and debate some of the common themes identified (listed below). This is a unique opportunity for you to meet other pension schemes that face similar challenges and hear from them what has been successful and what not.

Breakfast commences at 07:45am and discussions will conclude at 09:00am. Informal discussions may continue past this time.

The event(s) is free to attend. Spaces are very limited so please register early to avoid disappointment.
