Key topics discussed

  • Why member experience matters in endgame planning
  • Supporting members through retirement and life events
  • Improving communications, administration and outcomes

Recorded live at Hymans Robertson's Pensions and Retirement Conference 2026, this podcast explores the role member experience plays in shaping successful endgame outcomes.

Donna Prince is joined by Ash Roberts (Pension Insurance Corporation) and Kat Jarvis (Rothesay) to discuss how trustees, sponsors and insurers can put members at the centre of risk transfer decisions. Drawing on research and real retirement experiences, the panel explores what members value most, from clear communications and accessible support to empathy, flexibility and personalised service.

The discussion considers how the industry can balance security with member outcomes, covering retirement decision-making, vulnerability, digital support, administration standards and the evolving expectations of pension scheme members. It also explores the practical steps trustees and sponsors can take to help ensure members continue to receive a positive experience when benefits transfer to an insurer.
