Managing DB Pension Risks under the Regulator’s New Funding Objective
Chairman of PensionsFirst, David Norgrove is speaking at the above event, celebrating the 1st anniversary of Punter Southall using PFaroe.
Punter Southall is hosting a series of events entitled 'The DB Game Changer Sessions'.
The recent proposal to give the Regulator a new objective could mean a step change in the management of UK DB pension plans.
As we await details of the revised code of practice and a more flexible approach to funding negotiations, trustees and corporate sponsors once again face an unfamiliar landscape in their approach to actuarial valuations, funding discussions and pension de-risking strategies.
This potential shift in the balance of power between trustees and sponsors could result in the need to introduce integrated risk management plans, potentially representing the biggest change in scheme funding since 2005.
If you're a Trustee Chairman, Finance Director, Treasurer, Head of Pensions or Head of Corporate Risk, find out how you will be affected by attending the first of these sessions.

Living on the edge
Bridging the information gap
Pension schemes perpetually live on the edge of a precipice. While improved economic conditions offer the opportunity to navigate the funding gap and take risk off the table, companies are thrown into the jaws of a greater abyss - the information gap. Sponsors, trustees and advisers still struggle to make informed decisions about how to de-risk schemes due to a lack of timely and accurate information on their scheme's assets and liabilities.
Yet there is an answer. PensionsFirst's inaugural live webinar will discuss how technology - such as our unique business intelligence platform PFaroe - can plug this information gap, providing schemes with a more comprehensive understanding of their risk profile, and put them in a stronger position to take advantage of market opportunities to reduce risk as and when they arise. Specifically, the webinar will discuss how technology can aid the pensions industry to make rapid improvements in:
- Assessing risk transfer options
- Defining better investment strategies
- Understanding balance-sheet impacts
- Efficiently delivering required reporting
- Providing consistent and accurate information to all stakeholders
In today's challenging economic and regulatory environment, pension schemes can scarcely afford to fall into the information gap. Watch the webcast to see how technology is being leveraged to bridge the information gap.

Also, he demonstrates how poor implementation can lead to material unrewarded risks for a pension scheme, and how you can overcome key barriers to successful implementation.
