Cushon
Veronica Humble is speaking at our Net Zero Investor’s Defined Contribution Forum 2025
What is your company’s AUM?
£4 bn
What are your key responsibilities?
I head up the investment team at Cushon.
-
It’s all about the asset allocation…
And processes around it.
-
The hardest part of portfolio construction…
Is understanding when it’s not the right portfolio for the client.
-
My feelings about 2 and 20…
It doesn’t work for DC portfolios and managers should innovate if they are looking for ongoing contributions from DC pensions.
-
Why I like venture capital in an institutional portfolio…
The risk profile and the time horizon make a compelling case for inclusion in a growth DC portfolio.
-
Why managing money matters…
Our members will to a large degree rely on their DC pensions for their retirement.
