Budget 2021: ‘Reckless conservatism’ in DB landscape

Podcast: Wednesday’s budget did not go far enough to counter the “reckless conservatism” in the defined benefit landscape when it comes to risk and growth assets, hampering the government’s drive to unleash pensions on the post-pandemic recovery, according to Conservative party peer baroness Ros Altmann. She is joined by Isio partner Mike Smedley in a discussion that also includes the lifetime allowance freeze and what was missing from the chancellor’s statement. Hosted on Acast.
