Navigating DB endgame options with practical guidance for trustees and sponsors

The options available for DB schemes approaching their 'endgame' are continuting to increase - with trustees and sponsors having to weigh up run-on strategies against new capital-backed structures and further sophistication in the offerings from bulk annuity insurers.

In this session, we explore some of the innovative structure now available, and their regulatory context, and show how trustees and sponsors can navigate towards the right solution for their scheme.
