Traditional DC as we know it is changing

Key retirement challenges:

  • Complexity: Which investment options will your participants need, and choose?
  • Accumulation: Will they be equipped to save enough for retirement?
  • Market risk: What happens if the market drops, especially as they’re nearing retirement?
  • Longevity: How long do your participants expect to live?
  • Inflation: What will things cost in the future? Will prices rise gradually or spike occasionally?
  • Consumption: What goods and services will they need?

Our approach to these challenges

  • Targeting alpha for the accumulation phase
  • Improving retirement income
  • Pursuing prosperity through ESG and sustainable investment
  • Innovative solutions
  • Efficient systematic capabilities


What sets us apart

  • Our 215-year history is predicated on a strong, stable family ownership structure and a focus on the client for the long-term
  • ESG and sustainability are embedded in our investment culture, and engrained in our company's philosophy
  • Strong diversity and inclusion (D&I) practices are critical to the culture here at Schroders
