Pensions industry folk are gathering in Oxford today to discuss how to manage people's retirement funds in a "New Normal" world. This provides the perfect opportunity to ask - who has the best pension system in the world and what can the UK learn from them?

Four of the key speakers gave a pre-briefing to the media in London this morning - Elizabeth Corley, chief executive of Allianz Global Investors in Europe, Divyesh Hindocha, director of global consulting at Mercer, Gordon Clark, an Oxford University professor, and Jeremy Cooper, chairman of the retirement income division at Challenger, an Australian pensions provider.
