New DCIF podcast episode: The DC trustee’s perspective

In this series of Changing World, New Opportunities, we were keen to hear from a trustee. There’s so much going on in the investment world all the time, and that’s just one element of being a trustee; what does it feel like right now to try to serve members while keeping abreast of regulation, admin, communications and governance?

In this episode, Jon and Louise talk to Mark Austin, who as well as being a DCIF member and head of the UK for Northern Trust’s asset owner business, is chair of the Northern Trust UK Pension Scheme. We find out how Mark became a trustee, how the world has changed and become more challenging for trustees in recent years, and how to build an investment strategy that works for everyone, from workers in the post room to the chief investment officer.
