Register for an in-person breakfast seminar, which will take place on 11 October 2022 at our Birmingham office. We, along with Broadstone, will be offering some practical tips for pension trustees on environmental, social and governance, effective systems of governance (flowing from the new single code of practice) and the new defined benefit funding regulations.
Watch out for our autumn Hot Topics in Pensions, which will contain a brief summary of the latest pensions topics for inclusion on trustee and corporate agendas this quarter. For a more detailed summary of issues for trustee agendas, take a look at our Pensions Lessons for Trustees 2022 – A Whole New Curriculum.
