Our response mirrored our response to crises before: we held firm and took decisions that best served the interests of our clients, our people, our shareholders and other stakeholders.

  • Accenture Retirement Savings Plan
    Accenture Retirement Savings Plan Statement of Investment Principles – Default Investment Options 27 September 2019 1. Background Members who do not make an investment choice are invested in the Plan’s default investment options. The Trustee has selected the Lifestyle Strategy - Drawdown Focus as the default investment option. This is the current default arrangement for new joiners to the Plan. Prior to January 2016, new joiners to the Auto Enrolment Section were auto- enrolled into Flexicycle. Flexicycle was closed to new members in January 2016 (and most members were transferred to the Lifestyle Strategy – Drawdown Focus). However, Flexicycle continues to operate for members that were already in the de-risking phase and purchasing annuity protection funds at this date and who have not selected an alternative investment option. Members invested via Flexicycle continue to have the option to switch out to the other investment options at any time. 2. Investment Strategy 2.1 Investment Aims, Objectives and Expected Returns The Lifestyle Strategy - Drawdown Focus aims to generate capital growth over the long term. In the years prior to retirement, the lifestyle aims to reduce the volatility of the member’s expected pension pot through investing in a diversified portfolio that aims to provide a balance between risk and return. This, together with new contributions from members and the Principal Employer, will provide a fund at retirement with which to transfer to an arrangement offering the facility to drawdown an income during retirement. The Flexicycle aims to generate capital growth over the long term. In the years prior to retirement, the Flexicycle aims to reduce the volatility of the annuity income the member can secure at retirement and the value of their tax free cash lump sum.

  • Newsletter & Bids 17 2017
    Newsletter & Bids 17 2017 April 23 2017 Newsletter Dear Members, This week’s newsletter bids, grants and Funds come to you in conjunction with our sponsors London Based Manley Summers Training. Well to any of you who did the Marathon and I know a couple did then congratulations to you all. Also Retained clients and RoAPT clients received a Special offer and a CODE to use please use this prior to the 2nd of May. This week going out to 3,675 organisations and people in the Industry, many people ask why this number changes - well we have people leave and join each week and of course some companies buy out other companies or people leave companies. This week’s Bids Grants and Funds has some 38 Pages. Current apprenticeship frameworks in Health and Social Care and in Care Leadership and Management will be withdrawn by Skills for Care and Development on 29 December 2017. In-line with government changes, the planned closure comes after the approval of the new employer-led apprenticeship standards at levels 2, 3, 4 and 5. Level 2 and 3 are already open for registration and level 4 and 5 are anticipated in the very near future. This means that no one will be able to start an apprenticeship on the framework after the end of this calendar year, and all apprentices starting after that date will do so through the new standards. The world of Training and Development has been turned upside down this however is sometimes a perfect time to take advantage. We have run Peer Meet Ups for some time and indeed we have our next one scheduled for Birmingham on Thursday the 25th of May.
