1 LCP DEFINED CONTRIBUTION Conference THURSDAY 5 FEBRUARY 2015 THE MAY FAIR HOTEL, London, W1J 8LT, UK A new horizon for DC.

2 LCP Defined Contribution Conference 2015 Find out more at A new horizon for DC. Overview We are delighted that the Rt. Hon. Steve Webb MP Minister of State for Pensions and Paul Craven, behavioural economist, will be joining LCP s expert speakers and key industry personalities to offer action points to ensure you are ready for April 2015, and the horizon beyond. From April 2015, defined contribution (DC) pensions will never be the same again. While the volume of changes may be daunting, we believe the new freedoms and flexibilities have provided the industry with a fantastic opportunity to revolutionise defined contribution pensions in the UK. Although there are still unanswered questions about the details, most will need to take action now to ensure their scheme remains fit for purpose in the new world. Our conference will help you set a course to get the right outcomes for your members and your scheme, including: How to prioritise what you need to do now Getting your investment strategy right for your employees Producing effective member communications to encourage better decisions WINNER #LCPDCconference
