Partner Insight: Active Run-on

Active run-on is the strategy of operating a well-funded pension scheme with the explicit intent of building up surplus assets, then using that surplus to benefit the key stakeholders of the scheme; the members and sponsor.

There are many ways that members can benefit from active run-on. In some cases, simply running on (and not buying out) will allow members to continue to have access to valuable benefits and options that can otherwise be challenging and / or expensive to insure.

Read further how active run-on can be incorporated into your schemes endgame strategy to allow you to continue to run your pension scheme in a highly secure, low risk way whilst explicitly aiming to generate surplus over time.  Brought to you by Professional Pensions in association with Aon.
