How do you understand the relevant options for your scheme?

In part 1 of PwC’s pension de-risking series we challenged whether the bulk annuity market has sufficient capacity to meet anticipated demand. In part 2 we address this issue by broadening the discussion beyond traditional bulk annuities to set out the wide range of options available for trustees and corporate sponsors looking to de-risk their pension schemes.

We outline each option and where it sits on the risk curve, explain how alternative de-risking routes might achieve stakeholder objectives in a similar way to bulk annuities, and provide a checklist to help make an initial suitability assessment.

We've also included a section summarising some of our past deals and their key features to give you a sense of the value PwC can add as an independent de-risking adviser.
