1 day (6 CPD Hours)
Introduction
The UK pensions sector is undergoing a period of great upheaval
with pension advisors now facing unprecedented regulatory and
economic pressures.
During 2007, pension fund returns were at their lowest level for
five years as continually falling equity yields took their toll
on fund values. As more powers are granted to the Pensions
Regulator to compel trustees to resolve deficits and reassess their
future liabilities (in the context of the current economic climate)
the issue of risk management is increasingly critical for all
pensions' professionals.
