Description:

Damian heads up the Workplace Health and Wealth team for Barnett Waddingham.  He advises a range of UK corporate and trustee clients on their workplace health and wealth issues; from scheme design through to ongoing governance for defined contribution arrangements.

We put the following to Damian, see what he thought by downloading or streaming the latest podcast below.

1) AE has been good for getting people enrolled into a scheme, are we seeing employers taking less time to develop DC offerings and instead opting for mastertrusts?

2) Many members will be surprised at what the pension buys them at current contribution levels when they come to retire, how should we increasing member engagement?

3) Who should be monitoring the DC scheme in members interests, we often see trustee boards (from DB schemes) who take up the task, does this impact on the level of risk being taken?

4) At the recent OECD event you asked about Infrastructure, and we can expect another report from them on this topic, what do you think should be being done in this space?

5) Pensions freedoms were also quoted at the same event as being dangerous, and members should look to annuities, should financial education play a better role in helping members shape retirement plans?
