Managing Business Risk Seminar

Managing Business Risk: The role of pensions and employee benefits
UK companies face risks from all areas of their business with pensions and employee benefits being no exception. Our seminar will look not only at the risks created by pensions and benefits and how these can be managed, but also how they can be used as tools to control other areas of uncertainty faced by businesses. This session will aim to bring together issues faced by HR, Finance Directors and Pensions Managers – looking at how they interact and can be most effectively dealt with as a whole.

9.40 - 10.10 Pension scheme risk
Nigel Wilmin, Punter Southall & Co

Nigel will look at some of the main risks associated with running a defined benefit pension scheme, including dealing with a legacy scheme, governance requirements, the impact of conflicts of interest and cost control.
10.10 – 10.30 How investment strategy can control risk rather than create it
Robbie Bowker, PSolve

Robbie will look at how even small/medium sized schemes can develop an investment strategy which can help to control the risks a pension scheme and its sponsoring employer faces by looking at a meaningful alternative to investing heavily in bonds without increasing risk.
