Our DC Futures series explores how to build resilient DC portfolios through the three Cs: capital allocation, climate considerations, and continuity.

Our latest bitesize video focuses on continuity. Alison Leslie interviews Brendan McCarthy, Head of Retirement Investing at Nuveen, to discuss what the UK can learn from the US when it comes to decumulation. They cover:

  • How glidepaths differ in the US and what that means for risk management
  • Product innovation, including target date funds and ‘to and through retirement’ solutions
  • The role of engagement, segmentation and automated communication
  • Where guaranteed income fits into the picture

Watch the video below to gain practical insights that could help shape your approach to decumulation and member outcomes.
