Would CITs make your retirement savings program leaner and less expensive – while preserving the integrity of your investment strategy and providing a high quality experience for your savers? We chat with Aron Szapiro of Morningstar about CITs, ESG, MEPs and PEPs.

We talk with Will Sandbrook about Universal Workplace Savings, Emergency Savings, NEST pensions UK - and why this matters in the US.

Private defined contribution savings systems like the 401(k) can work very well, particularly in a robust marketplace in which service providers compete and continually innovate. But these systems typically fall short in their coverage of smaller companies and lower income workers. In response, many governments have designed universal workplace savings (UWS) programs designed to cover the entire labor market.  Emerging auto-IRA programs in the United States are very much part of a gathering global trend.
