Entering the new pensions system armed with a dynamic hedging strategy
Pension funds would rather not have to cut pensions during the transitional period, but must achieve yields to maintain future pension ambitions. This necessitates coordinating between  the long-term and the moment of transition. A transition to a dynamic investment strategy could be the solution.

          Spreker: Marcel Kruse, Director of Portfolio Solutions, Milliman

Building Bridges – from new Financial Assessment Framework to new Pension System
The new pension system will mean a large shift in the long-term approach to how pensions are financed by pension funds. An examination of the financial assessment frameworks planned for the future points to new legislation looming on the horizon. This will lead to shifting investment portfolios in the coming years. How can pension fund managers already take adjustments to the strategic mix into account and pre-sort for the transition to the new system?

Breakout A

When participants become customers
The transformation challenge for the pension sector is multidimensional. Decisions about the new pension contract, ‘invaren’, impact on IT, products and processes. But what about the people actually responsible for implementing this transformation? In a more personal and individual pension system participants become customers. Is your fund or pension provider ready for this? How can you ensure a customer centric mindset in your employees and a deep knowledge of all aspects that are crucial in a DC context? 

Software as a Service
Modern challenges require modern solutions. Dan McLaughlin and Michael Watkins will talk about how the world has already shifted to DC, the range of reforms, challenges and the central role of technology in its success. All issues highly relevant to the Pensioenakkoord. Additionally, they'll share some of the opportunities Smart's technology platform offers, covering both accumulation and decumulation.

Speakers: Dan McLaughlin, Director of International, Smart. & Michael Watkins, Director of Retirement and Member Payments, Smart.
