Partner Insight: Understanding your current pension scheme surplus options

clock • 1 min read

On 28 January 2025, the UK government announced plans to refine legislation on how well-funded defined benefit (DB) pension schemes are able to access and invest fund surplus.

However, for those not seeking to buyout at the first opportunity, you don't need to wait as there are already numerous ways that we are helping sponsors and schemes to generate value through their DB pension arrangements.

During this webinar replay, Aon experts discuss the opportunities that are currently available to sponsoring employers and schemes, sharing insights from recent value release projects and the benefit that these brought to the sponsoring employers, trustees and members alike.

We also discuss the further opportunities that the expected legislative changes may have on the pensions landscape.
