Mary Spencer, Steve Webb and Helen Shackelford are joined by Dan Mikulskis, Chief Investment Officer at People’s Partnership, for a live episode recorded at the Pensions UK 2025 conference in Manchester.

At the start of the event, Dan shares what he’s hoping to see – from real momentum on value for money to clearer thinking on UK investment and adequacy. We then catch up again at the end of the conference to hear what stood out, what surprised him, and how the debates evolved.
