11: Property investing – moving on from the mainstream
Shops, offices and sheds: the three cornerstones of commercial property investment. But now property investors are starting to increase allocations to alternative sectors in search of income resilience. Eleanor Jukes discusses why more and more are increasingly looking to this area of property investing, the types of properties drawing most attention and why alternatives really need a better name.

10: DC: Challenging retirement stereotypes
The landscape for defined contribution is changing – for savers and retirees, employers and trustees, and for those who are responsible for managing client assets.
In partnership with Ignition House, we spoke to some DC members (aged between 55 and 65) about their saving and spending patterns as well as their approach to life after work. One of the key findings was the desire for flexibility. Each retirement journey is different and needs to be customised for the individual’s income and retirement aspirations.

Janette Weir, Managing Director, Ignition House
Veronica Humble, Head of DC Investment Solutions, LGIM

9: Demographic strategy: the cost of unhealthy living
Raising the retirement age can help with the fiscal costs of living longer – but our unhealthy lives could force us to look at other options.We’ve become used to rising life expectancy, yet lately statistics seem to show that the rate of improvement has slowed.

7: Factors: Should we be worried about overcrowding or capacity?
Given the rise in popularity of factor-based investing, there’s a lot of concern in the market about certain factors becoming too expensive (overcrowding) and that the costs of factor indices have increased (capacity). Today’s episode with David Barron looks at whether there’s truth behind these fears and if index investors should indeed be worried.For more information on today’s episode, visit http://www.lgim.com/uk/en/insights/our-thinking/market-insights/overcrowding-and-capacity-in-factor-based-investing--should-we-be-worried.htmlGuest: David Barron, Head of Index Equity and Factor-based InvestingHost: Mark Chappel, Investment WriterThis podcast is intended for investment professionals, and shouldn’t be shared with a non-professional audience.

6: DC Governance checklist: Is your scheme following best practice?
That’s the question asked by Colin Clarke, Head of Product Policy Strategy. Ultimately, if advisers and service providers are not performing as expected, we believe trustees or sponsoring employers should push them to improve the situation as quickly as possible or replace them. In our conversation, Colin lays out the governance factors instrumental in delivering your DC scheme objectives.

5: DB: Raising cashflow awareness
As defined benefit pension schemes mature and become cashflow negative, cashflow management becomes increasingly important. Schemes, particularly underfunded ones, may be better off focusing on being cashflow aware than being cashflow matched. In this discussion, Graham Moles highlights that it remains important not to consider cashflow management in isolation of other scheme risks.

3: Battling behavioural biases
Why are meetings dominated by the Highest Paid Person’s Opinion (HIPPO)? Why do people overestimate their share of household chores? Understanding how the mind can help or hinder investment success is a cornerstone of fund management. Increasingly, investors are using knowledge about investment biases to design better investment solutions and gain an advantage over the rest of the market.For more information on today’s episode, visit http://www.lgim.com/uk/ad/insights/our-thinking/market-insights/battling-behavioural-biases.htmlGuest: John Roe, Head of Multi-Asset FundsHost: Hugh MacTruong, Senior Distribution Strategy ManagerThis podcast is intended for investment professionals, and shouldn’t be shared with a non-professional audience.

2: What the battle against plastics means for oil demand
In many ways, plastic is the perfect product. It’s lightweight, cheap and durable. But cleaning up the world’s plastic waste will be a monumental effort – one which will have major implications for petrochemical companies and the long-term demand for oil. We chat to Nick Stansbury about the underexplored investment consequences of the recent public outcry.
