In this episode, Viran Patel from Hymans Robertson is joined by Penny Cochrane and Shelley Morrison from Aberdeen. Together, they explore how capital call financing works, why the market has grown so rapidly and the role it can play within institutional portfolios.

They discuss the evolution of the market, the shift from bank-led lending to greater participation from non-bank investors and the factors driving demand. They also explore the risk and return profile of these facilities, including the importance of manager selection, operational expertise and the quality of underlying investors.

You'll hear how capital call financing differs from other private credit strategies, where it may fit within an investment-grade portfolio and the key considerations for investors assessing the opportunity.

If you have questions on anything covered throughout the episode, please get in touch.

They discuss the pressures facing both public and private pensions, from the rising cost of the state pension to the shift from defined benefit (DB) to defined contribution (DC), which has moved risk onto younger savers.

The potential for collective defined contribution (CDC) schemes is also explored. The conversation looks at whether meaningful change is possible, including how automatic enrolment could evolve and how policy might better support financial resilience, while improving retirement adequacy.

They close by challenging whether the current system works for everyone, highlighting gaps for part-time workers and the self-employed, and the need for a more inclusive approach to pension design.

In this special edition of Hymans Robertson On…, Dan McMahon is joined by Jo Darbyshire from Local Pensions Partnership Administration (LPPA), Ted Mackereth from Just Group and Scott Finnie from Hymans Robertson to explore what that means in practice.

From AI-powered meeting minutes and query routing to faster software development, the conversation stays grounded in real use cases. It also looks at why member-facing AI is still rare, and what schemes can do to help members access their own data safely.

The panel digs into the big blocker too: data quality. “Garbage in, garbage out” still applies, but AI adds new risks even when your data is right. Trustees may want to treat data quality like cybersecurity on the risk register.  

They close with practical thoughts on governance, people and responsible use, so you can test ideas without losing human judgement and creativity.

In this special edition of Hymans Robertson On…, Dan McMahon is joined by Jo Darbyshire from Local Pensions Partnership Administration (LPPA), Ted Mackereth from Just Group and Scott Finnie from Hymans Robertson to explore what that means in practice.

From AI-powered meeting minutes and query routing to faster software development, the conversation stays grounded in real use cases. It also looks at why member-facing AI is still rare, and what schemes can do to help members access their own data safely.

The panel digs into the big blocker too: data quality. “Garbage in, garbage out” still applies, but AI adds new risks even when your data is right. Trustees may want to treat data quality like cybersecurity on the risk register.  

They close with practical thoughts on governance, people and responsible use, so you can test ideas without losing human judgement and creativity.

• Pension reforms and oversight: The New Pension Schemes Bill introduces mandatory value-for-money assessments, scale targets for master trusts, automatic small pot consolidation, and required default decumulation options. Meanwhile, the new Pensions Commission focuses on retirement adequacy, long-term outcomes, state pension age review, and challenges of an aging population.
• Industry commitments and standards updates: Seventeen leading DC providers have pledged through the Mansion House Accord to invest at least 10% of their default funds in UK economy-supporting assets by 2030. At the same time, the Retirement Living Standards have been updated to reflect cost-of-living changes, with varying impacts across minimum, moderate, and comfortable lifestyles.
• Pensions dashboards and market volatility management: Progress continues as pension schemes connect to the dashboard system with regulatory support to aid trustee compliance. Trustees are encouraged to monitor member behaviour, communicate economic impacts, promote guidance-seeking before investment changes, and regularly review investment strategies amid market volatility.

In this session, Lara Desay is joined by James Mullins and Michael Abramson to unpack what’s next for the risk transfer market: a fast-evolving space that has seen record-breaking volumes and increasing complexity in recent years.

From supply and demand dynamics to capacity constraints, evolving product options and the growing administration backlog, the conversation offers a candid look at the opportunities and risks facing trustees, sponsors and insurers alike. The panel dives into emerging solutions such as funded reinsurance, the growing role of superfunds, and the critical importance of member experience and insurer selection during the buy-in to buy-out journey.

In this session, Alison Leslie is joined by Elaine Torrey, Asad Rashid, Martin Dietz and Iain Connatty to examine the opportunities and innovation shaping the future of productive finance. From venture capital and infrastructure to affordable housing and the green transition, the conversation brings to life how pension schemes- both DC and DB - can make a tangible impact without compromising on returns. Packed with practical examples and honest reflections, the panel highlights how collaboration, policy shifts and smarter investment structures are helping overcome long-standing barriers to private market access.

The discussion also shines a light on how local investment by schemes like the LGPS is already delivering meaningful outcomes for communities and members alike.

We explore how employers and providers can support better outcomes through inclusive benefit design, guided financial support, and smarter use of contributions and surplus. With practical ideas and policy reflections, this conversation focuses on what we can do now to improve financial security for the millions of savers who need it most.

In this session, we cut through the hype to examine the true potential, and true risks, of AI across the pensions and retirement landscape. From efficiency gains and smarter decision-making to ethical challenges and regulatory uncertainty, our panellists share candid insights on what AI means for the future of our industry.

We explore how AI can enhance member outcomes, the importance of transparency and governance, and the practical steps schemes and providers should be taking today to prepare for tomorrow. With real-world examples and a focus on responsible innovation, this conversation separates the promise from the pitfalls.

Whether you're enthusiastic about AI or still weighing its impact, this episode offers a balanced and thought-provoking discussion on how to navigate the opportunities and realities of emerging technology.

From the evolving role of DB schemes to the urgent need for investment-led growth, this episode dives deep into the economic, regulatory and demographic forces shaping the future of pensions.

Our panellists unpack the legacy of de-risking, the risks of over-concentration in gilts and credit, and the opportunity for pension funds to play a central role in driving national growth. With a focus on mindset shifts, surplus reinvestment, and more ambitious approaches to long-term capital, this conversation is a call for collective action and fresh thinking.

Whether you're wrestling with big strategic questions or looking for a sharp take on policy trends, this episode provides a thought-provoking discussion on how we secure sustainable outcomes for savers.
