Ever had a question about pensions that you were afraid to ask? We've got you covered. No question is too small as we kick off the series with Dominic Arthur, Director of Pensions and Government Recruitment, Cabinet Office and Duncan Watson, Chief Executive, MyCSP. They chat to our hosts Rob and Emily about the basics of pensions - what is a pension? Why is it important? What makes it better than saving your money in other ways? And why is this particular scheme so good? Between them, Dominic and Duncan have over 50 years’ experience in the pensions industry, so they’re perfectly placed to help you get to grips with how everything works. We explore the differences between a Defined Benefit and a Defined Contribution scheme, the key benefits of the Civil Service Pension Scheme and some advice for members on how to start your retirement planning, whatever stage of life you’re at.
