In this first episode of our fourth series, we are talking about inflation. Dan and Mary speak with a range of experts to get a rounded picture of the current environment.

We discuss insights on the financial well-being implications of higher inflation at a national level and the role of governments, employers and individuals in supporting households. From the political angle, we discuss the current announced and planned support measures with Steve Webb. From the actuarial angle, we run through some of the myriad ways higher inflation may be impacting actuarial work and the running of pension schemes. And finally, we cover the investment angle. What have markets been doing and why, and how we have been advising clients to react.

We aim to help listeners think through inflation in a more rounded way and uncover some underappreciated angles.

Our speakers:

• Heidi Allan, head of LCP’s Financial Wellbeing practice 

• Steve Webb, Partner at LCP and former Pensions Minister 

• Jon Forsyth, Partner in LCP’s Actuarial practice
