Members of the Association of Consulting Actuaries (ACA) provide top-class advice to employers, trustees and individuals in relation to UK pensions, working at actuarial consulting firms – both large and small – across the UK. To mark its 75th anniversary, the ACA is not only celebrating its history and achievements but also looking forwards to the future of the industry – as a result the ACA is launching a ‘Future of Pensions’ Student Essay Prize
We’re inviting students at UK universities (studying any discipline) to submit an essay of up to 1,500 words on the future of UK pensions and long-term saving – we’d love to hear about innovative ideas on how to improve provision, understanding, take-up and/or overall savings adequacy at all levels of UK society.
