Aon Consulting media briefing: Launch of Aon DC Pension Tracker

Thursday 19th February, 9 -10 am

3.7 million British workers pay into occupational defined contribution pensions every month, assuming their money will safely grow into a comfortable retirement income, but the reality is very different. The Aon DC Pension Tracker will for the first time provide a realistic gauge of how the nation's defined contribution (DC) pension pot is fairing.

At the end of 2008, Aon Consulting revealed that in the space of just 12 months, the UK workersí pension pot had deteriorated by nearly a third (28%) with 157bn wiped off its value. It is vital, especially given todayís economic climate, that workers are made aware of the risks that face their pension and what steps, where necessary, can be taken to mitigate these.

The Aon DC Pension Tracker will highlight on a monthly basis the changes in value of the British workforce DC pension assets, projected pensions at retirement and the impact these have on workers, dependent on their age.

Aon Consulting would like to invite you to a breakfast briefing to mark the launch of this tracker and which will also include a discussion on the biggest challenges facing occupational pensions in 2009.

Participating in the briefing from Aon Consulting will be:
Helen Dowsey, Head of DC
Dean Mitec, DC pension tracker specialist
Lisa Page, Senior consultant
