BACK IN LONDON IN 2026 WITH A PRIVATE MARKETS FOCUS

In the runup to the WorldPensionSummit, we are hosting the 5th UK Pension Fund Tour & Dialogue, in London. We are very grateful for the support of our hosting partners and we invite asset owners to apply for a seat to secure this unique shared learning experience with an exclusive group of pension fund executives from around the globe. 

Instead of June, we are now visiting the UK capital in July. Everything else remains the same: the tour, the dinner , the dialogue and the Summer Drinks Party!

HOSTING PARTNERS: PRIVATE MARKETS EXPERTS

The UK Pension Fund tour is hosted by three partners in the UK, each presenting a unique view on the UK Pension Landscape and defined benefit as well as defined contribution solutions. We are honoured to be hosted again by Nest, USS and Railpen. This year the tour will have a special focus on private markets solutions. Our hosting partners will share their knowledge on effective private markets strategies, sustainable portfolio construction and cutting-edge plan design in an effort to deliver better retirement outcomes for their participants.  This year’s tour is special because we will not only spend time with leading UK asset owners Nest, USS and Railpen, but we will also visit two of the Maple 8: OMERS and OTPP.

And in case that wasn't enough global experience, we’re also hosting a session on Australian supers and how they successfully include private markets in their DC offering.

2025 IMPRESSIONS

2024 IMPRESSIONS

This is what our tour delegates had to say:

"It was a unique opportunity to meet pension leaders and engage with them in discussions on current topics to enhance the financial management of our own plan. "

"Excellent presentations that were highly relevant to my work. I will be bringing back many key takeaways and learnings."

"Overall, it was excellent. It was a very worthwhile event to participate in, both in the room and hosting.  The USP of this event is going to the hosts and having that in depth time with each scheme, in a way that doesn’t come across when someone from a scheme does a presentation at a regular conference. "

"This was a really worthwhile exercise. Not only great presentations, but good to hear the questions from peers and discussion along the way."
