We are delighted to be delivering one of the highlights of our year – the Personal Finance Society Annual Conference.

‘Financial Freedom – Giving Back Control’ is the theme of this year’s conference and will be delivered virtually, for one year only.

The virtual conference will take place on Tuesday 2 November and will be followed by the Personal Finance Awards.

Our digital programme continues

In response to ongoing government guidelines throughout 2021, the PFS has continued our comprehensive digital programme and so far we have delivered more than 250 hours of continuing professional development (CPD) to 28,000 members this year. Given the success of our digital programme, it is here to stay to suit our members’ needs.

Face-to-face specialist roadshows

In August, we were delighted to announce the phased return to physical events, by way of our Retirement & Investment and Later Life Specialist Regional Roadshows.

We are delivering a thought-provoking agenda of subject relevant sessions, combined with valuable networking opportunities throughout the day. Programme highlights include:

  • The new age of capitalism.
  • Tax planning considerations for business owners.
  • Corporate bonds: the underappreciated asset class in which alpha generation is the key.
  • The age of responsible capital.
  • A regulatory insight.
  • Fixing the care crisis.
  • Retirement reviews – covering all the bases.

The PFS has responded to the government’s care funding plan announcement in September.
