We were pleased to welcome delegates to a second DC master trust dinner, brought by Pensions for Purpose and hosted by Schroders. This exclusive roundtable discussion built on the momentum of the Mansion House Compact and explored the evolving landscape of pension scheme investment in the UK.

With the government signalling its commitment to encouraging pension funds to invest in UK infrastructure initiatives, alongside the ambitious creation of a National Wealth Fund and GB Energy, the conversation was more timely than ever.

Those in attendance, enjoyed a stimulating evening where experts from Pensions for Purpose, EY, The Pensions Regulator and Schroders gave insights into future opportunities for DC master trusts, discussed how we can unlock private market opportunities, ensure value for money and navigate the consolidation landscape in a rapidly changing environment.

Who should attend?

This event was open to master trusts.
