Arco Group Pension and Life Assurance Scheme transfer to Clara Pensions

Commenting on the Arco Group Pension and Life Assurance Scheme transfer to Clara Pensions and what this means for the market, Richard Wellard, Head of Alternative Risk Transfer Solutions, Hymans Robertson, said:

“The superfund market is demonstrating an increasing ability to deliver solutions in a wide range of situations. In this case, to support an M&A transaction. As trustees and sponsors evaluate a broader range of endgame options, superfunds are increasingly becoming a routine part of those discussions, rather than a solution considered only in a limited set of circumstances. 
 
“Looking ahead, the superfund landscape is set to expand even further. With the prospect of additional providers such as TPT entering the market, we expect increased competition, continued innovation and a growing volume of transactions. As the market develops, the range of schemes and situations for which a superfund solution may be appropriate is likely to continue expanding.”
