In this episode of V-FM Pensions, hosts Darren and Nico chat to Smart Pension's Director of Investment Proposition, James Lawrence.

We chat about:

  • what's going on in the world and what it means for investment;
  • Baroness Altmann's ideas for linking tax relief to investing in the UK;
  • Smart's investment in green bonds and its approach to zero cost investing;
  • the Pension Schemes Bill and the challenges of balancing long-term societal benefits with financial returns in pension investments;
  • CDC and decumulation;

...and a whole lot more!

We also find out how James got into pensions, and, of course, what value for money means to him.
