In the UK, a significant proportion of defined benefit (DB) scheme assets are held by a small number of large schemes. These large schemes have unique needs and face different challenges compared to smaller ones. As advisers to over half of the twenty largest schemes in the UK and one in five with assets above £1bn, we understand these different needs and want to share our insights through a series of case studies. You can read the first in the series here.

In our latest case study, we share our insights from acting as a sounding board to a large scheme’s in-house trustee executive team. 

Our client is an experienced in-house executive team at a multi-billion-pound scheme with a range of stakeholders, including several professional trustees on the board. In this case study, our experts discuss:

  • The key challenges faced by the client
  • How we collaborated to develop effective solutions
  • The main takeaways from the project
