Excellence in Endgames

For those managing DB pension schemes, it's a pivotal and exciting time. With a dynamic risk transfer market and new provider solutions, endgame planning is complex. It's not just about buy-out versus run-off; factors like scheme size and stakeholder beliefs play crucial roles. Careful consideration is key to navigating this diverse landscape.

Whether you are a trustee or an employer of a DB scheme, our 'Excellence in Endgames' hub is here to help you cut through the complexity, identify the right endgame strategy for your individual scheme and develop and execute a strategy that puts member outcomes at its heart.

Set the right PACE to buy-out

If your defined benefit (DB) pension scheme is targeting buy-out, you need a cohesive strategy and plan to get there. And you need them sooner rather than later.

To help you deliver a successful buy-out strategy, we’ve developed PACE. Using a strategic approach to buy-out, PACE integrates affordability, investment and due diligence considerations to create a clear pathway for your scheme.
