3 LCP Defined Contribution Conference 2013 Find out more at Delivering value in DC pensions. Overview DC pension schemes are now the predominant pension savings vehicle for UK employees. Following the launch of auto-enrolment last year, UK employers are contributing more to DC pensions than ever before, and this is set to increase year on year for the foreseeable future. Employers and trustees are keen to ensure that their reward packages are competitive, and that both they and their members are getting value for money. Against the background of a continuously evolving landscape, LCP s defined contribution conference will ensure that you are up to date with the latest developments and case studies to help you and your members get the most from your DC scheme. We are delighted to welcome guest speakers Steve Webb, Minister of State for Pensions, and Andrew Warwick-Thompson, Executive Director for DC at The Pensions Regulator who will join LCP s speakers.

How can you ensure you are offering innovative default strategies while controlling costs and communicating to members effectively? Lifting the lid on expense charging Investment charges on many DC schemes are complex and hard to understand, but can have a huge impact on member outcomes. We will share our experiences and research to help you understand and negotiate charges. Mark Jackson Steve Webb MP Paul Black Heather Brown Coffee break 11:00-11:20 Session 2 11:20-13:00 The regulator s view Grand Designs: Get more value with good scheme design and governance DC pensions are a central part of many organisations benefits strategies. What are the options and how can you make sure you re following best practice? Should I read my pension statement or play Angry Birds? Employees want a comfortable pension in the future that they can afford today. Helping employees to understand their choices is important. We will share ideas and case studies around employee engagement. Shy and retiring Retirement choices are increasingly complex, with employees unsure of the options. How can you guide your employees through the process, ensuring you benefit from the latest trends, tools and provider behaviours? Chairman s conclusion and questions Andrew Warwick- Thompson Andy Cheseldine Mark Smith Philip Audaer & Rachel Crowther Mark Jackson Lunch 13:00
