Annual Conference

Ready to take the leap: Run-up to transition year 2026 

The sector is in the middle of the transition to the new pension system under the Future of Pensions Act (Wtp). A few pension funds have already made the transition, but the bulk will cross over in 2026: that's when things will get really interesting. Are you ready to take the leap?

Topic Suggestions

Transition:

  • Regulatory view: the final spurt to 2026 from the perspective of the regulator 

  • Message 'from the other side': The first funds already have six months of experience with the new system. How are thing on the other side? 

  • Ready to take the leap: some of the larger pension funds share how they are preparing for their transition by 2026 

  • Communication: how do schemes prepare their participants for the big leap?  We discuss communication pitfalls and creative solutions.

Investments:

  • No wild jumps: Investing around the moment of transition – how can pension funds guide their portfolios through the transition? Issues and solutions.
  • Lifecycle investing in the spr and the fpr – what does that look like in practice?
  • Hedging before and after the transition
  • How will portfolios change after the transition? We look at which offensive or defensive strategies are given more or less space. 
  • After the leap: How Can Wtp Investments Keep Up with Inflation?

The future after the Wtp:

  • When everyone has made it to the other side, the changes are not over yet. What's in store for us? For example, will there be a structural solution for professions involving hard (physically or mentally) labour?
  • What will the sector look like after the transition? Will there be a new consolidation round?
  • What technological changes are on the horizon - what will be the role of Artificial Intelligence in the pension system of the future?
