Flipping the spectrum of capital: should we all do more impact investing?

Sanjay Joshi, Responsible Investment Consultant at Hymans, chats to Bobby Riddaway, Managing Partner at HS Trustees, on why pension scheme trustees should prioritise sustainability and impact investing. 

What is the most important thing for trustees to consider when investing responsibly, and why should trustees view climate action as their primary responsibility? 

Bobby and Sanjay cover the importance of investing in climate solutions to support the UK’s energy transition, and address barriers to impact investing, including the burden of regulatory reporting.

Value for money in small DB schemes

Nick Jellema, Partner and Investment Consultant at Hymans Robertson, sits down with Russell Baird, Professional Trustee at BESTrustees, to discuss delivering value for money on DB schemes at the smaller end of the market.

As Nick and Russell agree smaller doesn't necessarily mean simpler. They cover the challenges that these schemes face, how an independent trustee can help and how investment advisers can support in delivering good outcomes.

Overall, their conversation focuses on being smart with spending. Whether it’s a well-run ALM, a trusted investment adviser, or a sharp independent trustee, the right help keeps your scheme on track and avoids costly detours.

The rise and regulation of professional trusteeship in the UK

Calum Cooper, Head of Pension Policy Innovation at Hymans Robertson, sits down with Louise Davey, Trustee Director and Head of Policy and External Affairs at Independent Governance Group (IGG).

They cover topics including Louise's career journey from her time at the Pensions Regulator to her current role, the increase of sole trusteeship in the market, how regulation is evolving and what government proposals mean for trustee behaviour. They also highlight why staying curious and embracing innovation is key for the industry.
