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.
Congratulations Lisa Mundy! What a fantastic outcome for all.
