For defined benefit pension schemes, the concept of ‘endgame' is no longer a distant consideration.
As schemes mature and funding regulations evolve, trustees and sponsors must determine how benefits will be delivered in the long-term, but what does that mean in practice?
Endgame options vary widely, from full risk transfer to an insurer, to running the scheme on with a focus on long-term stability. Hybrid approaches also exist, blending security with flexibility. Each route has different implications for funding, governance, and investment strategies—making the right choice a complex task.
In this video, Matthew Arends, partner and head of retirement policy at Aon, explores the full range of defined benefit endgame strategies, breaking down the key considerations that shape long-term planning. Whether a scheme is years away from its final destination or approaching a critical decision point, understanding the endgame landscape is essential.
Watch now to explore the options.
