This event will look at emerging and potential future policy solutions to plug the adequacy gap. This includes looking at future automatic pension transfer solutions to reduce the level of small pots in light of the industry’s work; what the future for automatic enrolment looks like as we get closer to the Government’s committed deadline for expanding the eligibility criteria; and whether the current tax relief system provides the right incentives to save.

It will also explore how much customers should aim to save, given uncertainty about longer lives and care costs; and how AE2.0 can adapt to help self-employed and under-pensioned people build emergency savings and a pension.

Join us at this critical moment as policy-makers weigh up decisions about the future of savings at work.
