Tue 06 Dec 2022 - The political and economic drama that has unfolded this autumn has made the headlines most days, while the detail and immediate implications immersed many actuaries for weeks.
This session will reflect on the autumn’s market events and look to the future. It will step back from the immediate implications and instead reflect on the broader lessons for actuaries. We will also explore what the medium to long-term outlook is for pensions and actuaries working in the field.
