SPP Event: DC Adequacy Series, Event 3 – What do we Mean by “Adequate”?

SPP Event: DC Adequacy Series, Event 3 – What do we Mean by “Adequate”?

The final session in our DC adequacy series will explore one of the most important questions facing the pensions industry: what does an adequate retirement outcome look like, and how can we measure progress towards achieving it? With speakers from the Resolution Foundation and the Living Wage Foundation, our panel will explore questions such as:

• What do we mean by “adequate”, and what targets should we be using?
• How does adequacy differ across different member cohorts?
• How can we mitigate key risks (including housing and later life care)?
• How can adequacy standards be applied in a way that works for savers in practice?
• What role can government policy play in delivering adequacy?

Panel:

• Shelley Morris, Head of Business Development & Policy, Living Wage Foundation
• Martin Willis, Partner, Barnett Waddingham LLP
• James Smith, Chief Economist, Resolution Foundation
• Thibault Jeakings, Partner, CMS (Chair)
