The future of pension investment actuaries

Hi all
I’m currently working at a Pensions consultancy in the investment team and I really enjoy the work. However, the future of pension schemes is bleak and I’m wondering whether to switch to an investment role at an insurance company, or to begin specialising in DC scheme consulting. Working for a fiduciary manager or an LDI team for an asset manager looks really interesting to me but again, I’m worried about specialising in something mostly applicable to DB pension schemes, even though I enjoy the work!

Has anyone been in the same situation and switched OR decided to stay? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

People are still going down the LDI/ fiduciary route for a reason and I’m wondering why? If there are reasons to go to a fiduciary manager or LDI role that doesn’t put a massive question mark in terms for my career in 10-15 years from now, I’d love to hear it.

Thanks!
