SPP Event: DC Adequacy Series, Event 2 – Looking Beyond Pensions

SPP Event: Adequacy – Looking Beyond Pensions

With the Pension Commission expected to report in 2027, our Adequacy Series will run over 2026 and will delve into the key drivers of retirement adequacy. Each session will explore a different area, from improving knowledge and engagement, to looking beyond pensions, to finally considering what we actually mean by “adequate”.

This second event in the series will look at lifetime savings beyond pensions, asking how we can improve wider savings and address some of the other financial challenges we face, whilst supporting better retirement outcomes. The event will consider both the accumulation and decumulation phases and we will hear from:

• the Nest Insights team, on research into side car savings and accessing pensions savings to help buy a home
• the PMI on their Lifetime Savings Initiative
• the Equity Release Council, on what equity release might involve and how it could help.

Chaired by Calum Cooper, Partner and Head of Pensions Policy Innovation at Hymans Robertson, this will be an engaging and thought provoking session.

Panel:

• Kelly Melville-Kelly, Deputy CEO & Director of Risk, Policy & Compliance, Equity Release Council
• Will Sandbrook, Managing Director, Nest Insight
• Helen Forrest Hall, Chief Strategy Officer, Pensions Management Institute
• Calum Cooper, Partner and Head of Pensions Policy Innovation, Hymans Robertson (Chair)
