Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of pension fund investment. Growth built on poorly controlled the financial and banking practice discipline reverses faster than it accumulated. They leave able to brief senior management on this strand of financial and banking practice in terms that support a decision. The programme takes participants through pension fund investment end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the financial and banking practice discipline hard in practice. The level assumes working familiarity with the business line but no prior formal training in this part of financial and banking practice. Organisations that document pension fund investment properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The difficulty is not agreeing that the financial and banking practice capability matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The programme closes with an action plan for the wider financial and banking practice agenda that each participant writes for their own organisation.
