Finding a safe landing

Wherever your scheme is on the journey to your long-term target, do you know how longevity de-risking fits into your flightpath?

As we look at a market where fewer than 30% of UK DB pension schemes over £1bn – and even fewer smaller schemes – have made their first moves towards de-risking, we predict a rising demand where volumes could total up to £650bn over the next decade.

Schemes should grasp the nettle when it comes to making their strategic decisions so that they don’t miss out in a busy market. Our report will provide you with market insights and practical steps to design a strategy tailored to where your scheme is on its journey, so that you can be sure to find a safe landing at your destination.

Watch our on-demand webinar where our authors share their priority actions for trustees and sponsors and market insights.
