Pension scheme design for higher education institutions

Is it possible to create a pension scheme design that works for members and the employer? What is the best framework for analysing and comparing different options?

During this webinar, Paul Hamilton, Partner and Head of Higher Education, have helped us to take a step back to think about pension scheme design from first principles, to explain how the different options (that he will outline) could work. This will show that there are more decisions to think about than just who bears the risk, including efficient allocation of resource, and the challenge of communicating complex issues relating to things that will affect employees many years from now.

He also looked at the above in the context of higher education’s current pensions options, and the discussions around the schemes used.

What you will take away
