Innovative Research
Research forms the foundation of the work we do and each year we produce a number of key pieces which are used to inform, advise and educate our stakeholders on the latest ideas from our thought leaders.
This year we have carried out research on areas as diverse as proposals for pensions accounting reform and future improvements in longevity. Three recent pieces of research stand out in particular:
