Partner Insight: Understanding pension captives

A pension captive is an arrangement used by a company to manage the assets and insure the liabilities of defined benefit pension schemes in its corporate group. This aims to generate a new stream of cashflows and profits for the company, as well as simplify governance and reduce operational costs.  This also allows the pension scheme to be wound-up, with scheme members' benefits secured with an external insurer.
