Hundreds of pension experts are to meet in Edinburgh next month to discuss the challenges facing the pension market.
The conference is to be held by the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) in order to highlight what issues the market will face as the UK recovers from recession.
Joanne Segars, NAPF chief executive, said: "The worse recession in 90 years has hit pension funds with full force.
"It’s been a turbulent 12 months for pension schemes and the next year looks to be equally stormy. Our conference will help pension managers and trustees make the right investment decisions so that millions of employees can look forward to a better retirement."
Concerns surrounding how the pension market will recover from the effects of the economic downturn could lead to a number of trustees looking at schemes such as equity release to boost their retirement funds.
These policies allow homeowners to realise the potential of the value of their properties.
