There is hardly a pension scheme in the UK that is not trying to reduce risk in some way – either through a move to liability matching assets, full liability-driven investment solutions, longevity swaps, buyouts, buy-ins or any of the many other options.
 
Yet, despite the increased interest among schemes and sponsoring employers, take up of risk mitigation tools has been often been hampered by the perceived cost and complexity of the products on offer.
 
This Conjecture will reassess these perceptions – looking at the continuing case for reducing risk in schemes, how trustees can overcome the issues they face with regard to risk reduction and assess how the market will develop in the future.

 

Risk Reduction panel:

Emma Watkins, Head of Relationship Management, MetLife Assurance Ltd

Greg Wenzerul, Corporate Deal Principal, Prudential

John Smitherman-Cairns, Corporate Development Director, Lucida

Martin Bird, Managing Principal & Head of Risk Settlement, Aon Hewitt
