NextGen is a group of professionals working in, or with an interest in pensions. We’re exploring and delivering ways that we can promote the next generation voice in the pensions industry. We are about inclusivity and creating platforms for diverse thought - within industry discussions, on decision-making boards and on industry bodies. We believe this will better equip the industry to provide solutions that meet the needs of savers and provide a much needed future talent pool to be the thought leaders and challengers of the future. We strongly believe that a robust pensions industry needs all types of experience and voices. Both the next generation voice and the voice of greater experience. It is by working together that we can build a strong future of our industry and pension savers.
