This special edition of Hymans Robertson On… recorded live at our 2025 Pensions and Retirement Conference, explored the trends, challenges and innovations shaping the future of the UK pensions industry.
In this session, Lara Desay is joined by James Mullins and Michael Abramson to unpack what’s next for the risk transfer market: a fast-evolving space that has seen record-breaking volumes and increasing complexity in recent years.
From supply and demand dynamics to capacity constraints, evolving product options and the growing administration backlog, the conversation offers a candid look at the opportunities and risks facing trustees, sponsors and insurers alike. The panel dives into emerging solutions such as funded reinsurance, the growing role of superfunds, and the critical importance of member experience and insurer selection during the buy-in to buy-out journey.
If you’d like to follow up on anything discussed, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
