A channel for pensions professionals, offering industry insight and lifelong learning to our members and the wider industry. 

The PMI is the largest professional body for pensions professionals in the UK.

Professional services people are typically extremely competent at their core area of expertise, but many are less at ease with the other skills needed, with increased seniority to differentiate themselves and their company; these skills are needed to deliver excellent client service and work effectively with colleagues.
People skills are of a paramount importance for companies to perform well, as well as for individuals to have fulfilling careers and progress.


In this short webinar, professional relationships expert Joanna Gaudoin will look at why these skills are necessary to navigate different professional scenarios and relationships effectively and positively, as well as the key skills that are required to help companies perform well.

The often-overlooked skills your people need to help your organisation perform well

Latest updates on pensions dashboards and exploring the end user experience

Trustees are enhancing their digital communications strategy to boost online member engagement, addressing the divide between online and offline members by exploring various engagement strategies. These include using incentives to encourage online participation, which has shown positive impacts on take-up rates. Analysis of member usage reveals that certain functionalities, such as accessing account information and managing pension plans, are particularly popular.

Future efforts to increase online engagement may be influenced by the evolving digital landscape, member preferences, and technological advancements. The implementation of the Pensions Dashboards Programme is expected to significantly alter member engagement by providing a comprehensive and user-friendly platform for pension management. 

In addition, trustees are incorporating sustainability and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) considerations into their strategy to ensure accessible and inclusive digital initiatives for all members. By addressing these factors, trustees aim to create a more inclusive, engaging, and effective digital environment for managing pensions.

Getting members online - what trustees need to consider

Developments in the risk transfer space have dominated pensions media headlines over the last few weeks:


• New insurers are entering the bulk annuity market,
• Superfunds are now allowed to distribute returns to their investors, and

Join Cardano’s Adolfo Aponte and Jonathan Repp as they consider the key questions for trustees and sponsors that these developments raise.

The retirement landscape is changing rapidly, as the industry shifts from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans, meaning individuals have more responsibility and choice over how they save and spend their retirement income.

To support individuals achieve better outcomes in retirement, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has proposed a new requirement on pension schemes to offer their members retirement products and services that meet their needs and preferences. The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has also put forward a number of principles for how it wants the 'at retirement' market to develop, such as ensuring good governance, clear communication, and appropriate investment strategies.

In this session, we will share insights from the UK and overseas on how the industry can respond to these changes and provide DC members with a sustainable income in later life. We will discuss solutions that manage the journey both to and through retirement, and the need for combining investment, technology and lifetime income into default design.

How can pension funds streamline their exposure to private assets?

Investment in private markets is on the rise, as capital allocators are pressed to achieve higher potential risk-adjusted returns, access a broader range of alternative asset classes, while seeking to benefit from additional portfolio diversification.

In this panel, senior representatives from the London Stock Exchange and Infrared Capital Partners will cover the following topics:
• Accelerating the pace of pension reforms and the new aspirations for pension capital
• Accessing alternative and difficult-to-source assets via listed investment companies
