Description

In this episode of VFM Pensions, hosts Darren and Nico chat to Eversheds Sutherland's Partner and Head of DC, Michael Jones, about all things value for money.

Michael has the honour(?) of being the first actively practicing pensions lawyer on the podcast and he timed his appearance perfectly being a Spurs fan (recording the morning after a lucky Europa Cup win...)

As well as finding out how Michael got into pensions and what value for money means to him, we have a wide-ranging discussion covering:

• Recent statements from the Pensions Minister concerning DB Surpluses
• The latest WPI report on scale and independence
• Angela Rayner's proposed tax hikes - will we / won't we see the reintroduction of the Lifetime Allowance?
• Pension investment and fiduciary duty
• The use and evolution of AI in pensions
• And a crowd funding campaign seeking a KC opinion on the retrospective nature of the Government making DC pensions subject to IHT.

Enjoy!
