Defined benefit (DB) pension schemes in the UK are better funded than ever before, and the options for trustees and sponsors have widened. The benefits for members, corporates and the wider UK economy are significant.

How DB schemes could maximise their potential

Many investors and corporates are at a relatively early stage in the disclosure of nature risks and adopting the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) recommendations, which were finalised last year. Reporting and making use of TNFD disclosures requires a step change in resources and approach, and stakeholders need to consider how to best apply their efforts.

Join David McNeil, Insight’s Head of RI Research and Innovation, and Natalia Estupinan Martinez, Director, Office of Sustainability, at Liberty Mutual Insurance for a panel discussion facilitated by Sheena Schyma, ESG Investment Specialist at Insight. 

They will discuss:
- Lessons learned from implementing the TCFD recommendations so far
- How to ensure disclosures are material for decision-makers
- The tools available to help stakeholders focus on relevant metrics

TNFD - making nature risk meaningful to the investment process

Join us for an insightful discussion on the dual investment landscape of high yield bonds and ESG principles. Discover why insurers are increasingly drawn to high yield bonds for their potential capital efficient returns, and delve into the nuanced debate surrounding ESG rhetoric versus reality in investment practices.

Overview:
Historically many insurers have steered away from high yield bonds, perceiving them to be excessively risky.  We analyse the asset class in more detail to correct some of the misconceptions and identify which parts of the high yield market might be most appropriate for insurers.
As ESG becomes an ever more prominent issue for insurers, we discuss the different investment approaches that are being considered and the extent to which these will actually achieve the desired real world outcomes.

We are keen to make this webinar interactive and would welcome any questions you have in advance by emailing our Events Team (Events@InsightInvestment.com).
