2 LCP Global Pensions Forum 2015 Find out more at How did the Swiss Franc unpegging impact your retirement plans? What about the Greek election or oil price halving? Shocks like these to the financial markets have pushed yields down and deficits up. Therefore companies are, more than ever, looking for ways to manage down their pensions risks. Retirement liabilities are long-term in nature, but are you thinking longterm about the types of assets you invest in? For example, what are the prospects for returns on oil & gas companies when environmental change and carbon-target legislation impact on their industries over the next decade or two? Sustainable strategies already exist to transfer pension risk away from the company over time, and are already being implemented by some companies in the UK and overseas. Speakers at LCP s Global Pensions Forum in 2015 will be sharing their experiences of dealing with risk, including: a case study on how one company set about reducing and removing its pension risk; a look at specific risk mitigation solutions, from risk transfer to changing benefits; and a look at what long-term risks companies are going to have to deal with and what they can do now to prepare. LCP s annual Global Pensions Forum provides an unparalleled opportunity to hear lessons learnt from around the world, from speakers from our international network of partner firms, and from companies that are currently improving and enhancing their retirement benefits. #LCPGlobalForum
