As his son sets off to college and begins his transformation from boy to man, a father who has given 18 years of advice knows there is still so much more to impart upon his son. The next four years will be some of the most formative years of his son's life, but Dad can only look on from a far. So Dad decides to write a book to his son giving words of encouragement, thoughts, and laying out years of experiences that can help shed some light on his journey. Think of this book as the "I wish I knew then what I know now" guide. Its contents contain short chapters to stimulate ideas, open doors to opportunity, and give loving nudges in the right direction at times when a son might need it most. It's packed with insights that will inspire any young man heading off to college, or out of the home to start their own life. But it is also a great read for anyone, at any age, as the timeless wisdom contained on these pages will open a brand new perspective, no matter what phase a person is in on their journey through life.

Regulatory and market developments have transformed the way in which UK private sector pension schemes operate. This has increased demands on trustees and advisors and the trusteeship governance model must evolve in order to remain fit for purpose. This volume brings together leading practitioners to provide an overview of what today constitutes good governance for pension schemes, from both a legal and a practical perspective. It provides the reader with an appreciation of the distinctive characteristics of UK occupational pension schemes, how they sit within the capital markets and their social and fiduciary responsibilities. Providing a holistic analysis of pension risk, both from the trustee and the corporate perspective, the essays cover the crucial role of the employer covenant, financing and investment risk, developments in longevity risk hedging and insurance de-risking, and best practice scheme administration.
