[SPONSORED CONTENT]

The UK workplace pensions landscape is changing at pace. With new default fund strategies, increasing exposure to private markets, heightened focus on Value for Money (VFM) and the introduction of new retirement investment solutions, trustees and advisers are navigating a more demanding investment environment.

In this podcast episode, Robert Cochran (innovation & engagement specialist at Scottish Widows) and Sharon Bellingham (master trust lead at Scottish Widows) are joined by Gerald Wellesley, Investment Chair of the Scottish Widows Master Trust. Bringing over 35 years of investment experience and 20 years as a UK pension scheme Trustee, Gerald shares an informed and balanced perspective on long-term investment decision-making within UK workplace pension schemes.

The conversation covers:

  • The role of private markets in UK default funds
  • The importance of liquidity management 
  • Making conviction-led investment decisions during periods of market volatility
  • How proposed Value for Money reforms could impact future investment flexibility for UK master trusts and occupational pension schemes

Designed for those involved in UK workplace savings, pension governance, investment strategy and retirement outcomes, this episode offers timely insight into the future of workplace pension investing.
