Meagen Burnett - this is what pensions is all about - securing the future to create intergenerational fairness and a planet where everyone thrives. It is brilliant to see that you have been able to put long-term goals before short-term returns and find innovative solutions to fund DC pensions for your members. Would be great to discuss this with you and showcase it at Pensions for Purpose.
