The Defined Contribution Investment Forum
Dedicated to promoting investment excellence in DC pensions.
Welcome to the DCIF
We’re a group of asset managers who believe that a well designed and diverse investment strategy has an important role in delivering a comfortable retirement for millions of DC savers.
A not-for-profit organisation, we commission and publish research which shines a spotlight on DC investment issues. We hope the people who determine DC pension schemes’ investment strategies will use it to inform their work.
We also arrange events. From virtual roundtables to in person gatherings, they’re a great way to learn more about DC investment issues and meet a like-minded community of trustees, pensions managers, investment consultants and more.
If you would like to come to our events or find out when we release a research paper, please register.

ESG v sustainability: are we heading in the right direction?
As with any investment, capital is at risk.
Late at night, a police officer finds a man crawling around under a streetlight. The man tells the officer he is looking for his wallet, which he’d dropped across the road.
What is on the DC pension trustee’s agenda in 2024?
The trustee’s agenda this year was already full, now thanks to the release of the long-awaited new General Code of Practice ahead of schedule by The Pensions Regulator, matters have just got worse.
How can DC investors play an active and more meaningful role in decarbonisation by investing in the resources sector?
The energy transition needed to address climate change needs significant investment in new resources capacity.
The asset managers that make up the DCIF are committed to promoting investment best practice within DC pension schemes.
