OVERVIEW

Several months on from the Hutton Report, and the controversy continues. With negotiations between government and the unions in deadlock, the dispute looks set to run and run. Can public sector schemes cope with the changes being put on them, and will rising contribution levels force some members to opt out?

With continued market volatility and an unstable economic climate, public sector schemes must become more sustainable. It is necessary to reconsider the assumptions and assertions upon which investment strategies have been built, and look at new ways in which to manage investments.

Public Service Events' second annual Public Sector Pensions conference will look at the development of investment strategies and how public sector pension funds can get a better return and minimise risk.

It is essential for those responsible for the administration of pension funds to be fully up to date with current issues. Having the right knowledge and skills will ensure the ability to cope with a rapidly changing environment. This timely event offers an opportunity to hear from industry experts, building an understanding of the latest products that can help funds. Covering key investment choices, challenges and changes faced by public sector pension funds, this must-attend conference will feature practical case studies on the management of funds, as well as an opportunity to contribute towards the ongoing debate around the reforms and future investment options.

How can we ensure public sector pensions are affordable, sustainable and fair? What is the best way forward for pension investment in an uncertain climate? Join our programme of outstanding speakers for insight into these issues and more at Public Sector Pensions.
