Pensions week 2023
10 March 2023
Given the pressures of increased regulation and market volatility, it is vital that we have the most up-to-date knowledge of the pension sector and bring together networking opportunities for professionals to share best practice.
Pensions Week 2023 allowed RSM's specialist pensions team, alongside external experts, the time to reflect on the significant events that have impacted pension schemes in 2022 - such as surging inflation, spiralling interest rates and market turmoil - and focus on what Trustees will need to prioritise going into the 2023-24 financial year.
