Rethinking Retirement Roadshows

8th October - 24th October 2024

We’re ready to get our experts back on the road again.  This time they’ll be focusing less on reviewing and strategising, and more on building and maintaining a truly top-drawer Centralised Retirement Proposition (CRP).  

To help, Conduct Culture and Mabel Insights have been drafted in to provide an authoritative insight into executing a CRP and what’s changed following the thematic review. They’ll also point you in the direction of an array of free resources that can help you and your firm.  

Our teams from Wealthtime and Copia will be joining them. And Just will be speaking again, this time about new alternative solutions to some of decumulation’s biggest challenges…

  • Insourcing vs. Outsourcing – who’s doing what?
  • Managing the pain points of running a CIP in a post-Consumer Duty world: what works?
  • Where next for the CIP in the light of regulatory changes, the economic climate and demographic trends?

CPD-accredited and led by experts from across the industry, they’ll cover the impact of the FCA’s review on retirement planning now and in the years to come.

Attendees at the event will also receive an exclusive preview of the latest findings from our ongoing research in partnership with the lang cat.  It’ll delve into the current retirement strategies employed by firms  and explore the reasons why advisers may need to reassess to provide the best outcomes for clients approaching and in retirement.

Speakers:
Tony Hicks, Copia Capital Management
Peter Wasko, Copia Capital Management
Yannis Katsis, Just

Copia Capital Management is proud to be leading the way with innovative approaches to retirement solutions. The importance of specifically-designed retirement portfolios is likely to be a major feature of the FCA’s Thematic Review which is due for publication before the end of 2023.

We recently launched the Copia: Select Retirement Income Plus (RI+) portfolios, which have generated significant interest amongst the adviser community. They feature a guaranteed income product delivered by Just, alongside a managed portfolio, providing the opportunity to outperform and greater certainty of outcome in retirement without increasing the overall investment risk.

This new approach is designed as a purpose-built retirement proposition to support your CRP in addressing the four main decumulation risks: sequencing, longevity, inflation and interest rates. It is also specifically designed to help advisers meet the new Consumer Duty requirements to avoid causing foreseeable harm and deliver value for money.

 Copia Capital Management is proud to be leading the way with innovative approaches to retirement solutions. The importance of specifically-designed retirement portfolios is likely to be a major feature of the FCA’s forthcoming Thematic Review.

 We recently launched the Copia: Select Retirement Income Plus (RI+) portfolios, which use guaranteed incomealongside a managed portfolio to increase the opportunity to outperform and provide greater certainty of outcome in retirement without increasing the overall investment risk.

Watch the recording from the August 8th webinar hear more about these pioneering solutions which offer the first decumulation portfolio strategy purpose-built to work in conjunction with a guaranteed solution. Offering attractive rates of income, the low-risk guaranteed income asset, which at launch is delivered by Just’s Secure Lifetime Income (SLI), is 100% uncorrelated to other asset classes.

 We’ll also be talking about Copia’s second new retirement solution, Select: Retirement Income (RI), which uses a strategic asset allocation model featuring a larger proportion of alternative asset classes than might be used in a traditional accumulation portfolio.

 The two new portfolio series are designed to address the four main decumulation risks: sequencing, longevity, inflation and interest rate, and help advisers meet the new Consumer Duty rule to “avoid causing foreseeable harm”.

Copia PFS webinar: “Future proof your CIP”

Learning the lessons from a major new research study among advisers

Watch the recording here.

This presentation shares the findings of a major new research study among advisers. It focuses on how adviser businesses can improve their operational efficiency, become more profitable, manage increasing regulatory pressures and even achieve a better sale valuation. The presentation is based on the findings from a major independent research study commissioned by Copia from the lang cat, which interviewed more than 100 advisers and which was shared for the first time in public at the PFS Regional Conferences.

The presentation shares the views of advisers, and the owners of adviser businesses, on the costs and burdens of building and running a typical adviser CIP, and the attractiveness of the alternative options such as outsourcing the CIP.

The presentation analyses the 5 stage CIP process from design to implementation, monitoring, maintenance and reporting, and shows where the pain points sit in terms of financial cost, time requirements and governance.
