Defined benefit pension obligations are estimated by discounting long term volatile cash flows by interest rates governed by a number of uncertain assumptions. Whatever you think about those assumptions, the fact that rates have risen by up to 5% over the last 12 to 18 months means the pension obligations that you are calculating have fundamentally changed.

This webinar explores how to assess the pension scheme discount at your appointment, how to manage the acquired liabilities, and how to minimise or eliminate that discount at the end of your appointment or on exit.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the buzz word of the year. Since the launch of ChatGPT, many enterprises have joined the race to include AI in the work that they do and try to stay at the forefront of technology. The term AI was first coined in 1950, so why has the phenomenon taken this long to start and should enterprises care about using it?

During this session, our team will discuss if we should trust the power of AI including:

• What is AI?
• Trusting AI and bias
• Use cases – how can enterprises benefit from using AI?

27th September – 16:00
