In Episode 5 of the Aon Hewitt Pensions Podcast Lynda Whitney and Sophia Singleton share the key points from the DC survey, will technology help deliver better outcomes for both members and pension funds? Finally, Sophia and Linda share with us some of the surprises they have found within the report. 


Trustees and Defined Contribution pensions scheme managers have a duty to help deliver the best outcomes for members. So this year we focused our Defined Contribution survey on their concerns, their obstacles, and how they can best approach the future.

This DC pensions research has explored the roles and responsibilities of trustees and scheme managers, their relationships with members and how future developments will influence their planning. The main challenges they face relate to dealing with increasing regulation, designing appropriate defaults, engaging members and empowering them to stay the course and maximise their contributions. By identifying areas for improvement, upcoming changes and opportunities, we can help trustees and scheme managers navigate the best way forward.
