Changing World, New Opportunities
Welcome to season three of the podcast! This season, we’re chatting to international policymakers and pensions experts about their DC systems. What are the challenges? What would they change about it? And – crucially – what can we learn in the UK?
Season three is hosted by Louise Farrand, a journalist who has written about DC pensions and finance issues for over a decade and has run the DCIF for ten years. Co-hosting is Mark Austin, chair of the DCIF and the head of the UK in the institutional investor business at Northern Trust.
