Altmann and Cazalet to speak at Retirement Savings Challenge conference
Pensions champion Dr Ros Altmann is to open TISA’s Retirement Savings Challenge conference on Wednesday 26 November with a keynote address looking at UK pensions in the 21st Century, whilst Ned Cazalet will examine the economics of pension saving.
TISA – the premier trade association in the UK retail savings and investments industry – is holding this new event to debate whether the planned pension reforms are ‘fit for purpose’.
Speakers at the event also include:
• Nigel Waterson MP, Shadow Pensions Minister
• Adrian Boulding , L&G – The future for Retirement Saving
• Rachel Vahey , Head of pensions Development, AEGON – Personal Accounts – A Personal View
John Lawson, Standard Life and Chair of TISA’s Retirement Advisory Council says: “I am delighted that TISA has managed to attract such a fantastic group of speakers for this new event. The savings industry is challenged with providing tax efficient vehicles that meet modern needs. Most importantly, we must find ways to encourage people to take personal responsibility for their own retirement.
“Anyone with an interest in pensions policy cannot afford to miss this opportunity to hear the views of the key players in this debate.”
The conference is designed for all those involved in strategy, policy, decision making, marketing, distribution, compliance and pensions operations. It will be held on Wednesday 26 November at HQS Wellington commencing at 12.00 and concluding at 16.35.

The Tax Incentivised Savings Association (TISA)
TISA is the premier trade association in the UK retail savings and investment industry. By engaging with member firms, government, political parties, regulators and consumer groups TISA’s ultimate goal is always to further consumers’ best interests. It seeks to improve the range, features and quality of savings and investment schemes available whilst at the same time encouraging more people to save for their long term financial security and piece of mind.
Uniquely, TISA is able to articulate the opinions of the whole savings and investments marketplace through its membership which comprises over 120 member firms involved in the supply or distribution of products to the sector and its consumer interest. TISA’s remit extends across the broad spectrum of government sponsored savings and investment vehicles including:
• Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs)
• Child Trust Funds (CTFs)
• Saving Gateway
• Personal Pensions and Personal Accounts
• Investment Bonds
• Employer based pension schemes
• Wraps and platforms
• Other consumer-centric savings schemes and initiatives.
HM Government uses TISA’s market knowledge and ability to represent the views of both the savings and investments industry and consumers to help it to deliver its policy in this area. Recent TISA successes include improvements to the ISA, the regime in which ISAs operate and simplification of the CTF.
