Many #pension schemes have ticked the box for assessing #cyber risks. But this is one area that is changing. Trustees need to stay on their toes. We look forward to finding out what some of them are doing at #PLSAannual22
#CDC schemes have been able to apply for registration with TPR since 1 August. How is that process coming along? And what are the ambitions for a future #pensions landscape with a CDC presence? We should find out a lot more at #PLSAannual22
The past year has demonstrated the huge impact that #macroeconomic developments can have on pension savers. Dame Frances Cairncross is ideally placed to provide an insight into what the future holds for #pension savers at #PLSAannual22
Sometimes the Pensions Regulator’s role seems focused on keeping trustees in order, rather than on outcomes for savers. We look forward to hearing from Charles Counsell on what #TPR is doing specifically for #savers at #PLSAannual22
Let's put a positive spin on #governance. It's not just compliance, it means real control and real protection. Here are Christina Bowyer's brief views on governance #PLSAannual22

Thought-provoking ideas on the interaction of the #statepension and #drawdown strategies from David Bird and Stefan Lundbergh of NOW Pensions at #PLSAannual22
Many #pension savers have little or no idea what their pension funds will pay out in #retirement. Are too many in for a shock? Something to explore at #PLSAannual22
Many #pensionschemes have been looking at transferring to a #superfund, but things haven’t yet got off the ground. Simon True will tell us about the latest developments at #PLSAannual22
Many schemes have adopted a #NetZero strategy. But not all strategies are the same. We look forward to learning more at #PLSAannual22 about the role of natural capital
#Drawdown has become the most popular way of taking income from a DC pot. But are members choosing the right #investments, drawdown levels and timing? This is an area where the #pensions industry is looking for novel ideas at #PLSAannual22

2/2 Decisions made hastily in a crisis may not be ideal. We look forward to learning what schemes can do to help savers at #PLSAannual22
1/2 The cost of living crisis is having an impact on pension decisions. Some savers have reduced contributions & others have decided to cash out their savings #PLSAannual22
We certainly have been living in interesting, and rather difficult times, for #pension schemes. We look forward to hearing from Nick Robinson what the impact of recent government decisions and international developments have been, and what’s still in store at #PLSAannual22
2/2 Will this usher in a new age of #DC schemes #investing more heavily in productive #growth? We look forward to discussing this at #PLSAannual22
