Georgia Stewart, the CEO of Tumelo joined me for this week's podcast to explore the extent to which shareholder capitalism still works, in a world where most investments are managed through fund managers and pension schemes.

This week’s podcast is part two of an excellent conversation with Darren Philp, in which we talk about CDC schemes, pension tax reform, DWP legislation plans and the vexatious problem of small pension pots, including what should be done about overseas workers. Given the subject matter we can only apologise for inexplicably missing a golden opportunity to make a dad joke about Grecian earns.

Pensions and politics geekery WITH NO BEER

Dec 6, 2021 44:54

In this first half of what turned into a two part recording, I talk with Darren Philp, a man with whom I’ve shared a few beers over the years, we talk about his time working in the Treasury which is where I first met him when he was working in Drawdown policy, we also talk about the pension dashboard and about the world of workplace pensions. With his experience in the public sector, at a trade body and now at a commercial provider, Darren has an amazing breadth and depth of experience. If you’re at all interested in pensions policy and politics, then you’ll enjoy listening to him.

This week it’s the turn of Parmenion senior investment manager and all-round ESG guru Mollie Thornton. We talk to Mollie about what next after COP26, and whether the conference can be judged as a success or a failure.

The challenges of an ageing population

Nov 26, 2021 38:13

Shifting demographics and the nature of our ageing population pose some particular social challenges. In this episode, Aviva head of savings and retirement Alistair McQueen explores some of these issues, and why Aviva is looking to champion the interests of older workers (a subject close to the heart of 50-something podcast host Tom McPhail). Alistair and Tom also reflect on the changing dynamics between people, their employer and the state, as well as some of the ways we can start to close the advice gap.

In our launch episode, we chat to AJ Bell head of retirement policy Tom Selby about what it’s like to work for a big platform business, the gender pay and investment gap and the Budget and pension tax reform.
