Mastering the Evolving DC Pensions Landscape

DC Masterclass session hosted by Invesco

Join us for the first of three interactive Masterclasses designed to bring you up to speed on the rapidly changing defined contribution (DC) pensions landscape. This session will delve into the shift from passive to active retirement planning and the integration of savings and pension strategies, emphasising the growing need for flexibility, personalisation, and regulatory alignment.

Our solutions-driven approach, supported by digital innovation and global insights, is crucial to enhancing member outcomes. We will explore three main access pathways: advised, guided and default, highlighting the importance of consistent and adaptable frameworks. By addressing diverse member needs across all retirement stages, this Masterclass aims to foster more resilient and inclusive retirement planning.
