The current pandemic has resulted in a precipitous drop in most pension fund values. It is not a time for panic, it is a time for planning and reflection and then taking action. Trustees will need to review their default fund selections and their funding plans and employees and the self-employed will need to review their whole personal pension funding strategy.

To this end, ACCA Ireland, in partnership with Aon Ireland, would like to invite to you attend a special seminar on Managing your Pension during Covid-19 on Friday, June 26th at 12:30pm.

In this webinar, we will be covering a number of topics related to both Defined Contribution (DC) and Individual Pension arrangements, including:

• Review of the market and the performance of various asset classes during C19
• The changing landscape of risk and return
• Contribution Payment Challenges – funding a pension
• DB funding issues - a very brief review of DB to DC conversion options
• Protection Benefits being offered
• Retirement planning and options at retirement
• Options on reaching age 50 for previous employer and paid-up pensions while still working
• Governance and communication – what trustees need to look for and employees should expect

We will be joined by Carraig Rushe and Adrienne Murphy from Aon, who will be talking through each of these topics in detail. They will also touch on covid-19's impact on the economy and on Defined Benefits (DB) pension schemes.
