Pension de-risking solutions

Leveraging our experience for the benefits of our clients

We recognise…

the pivotal role played by pension scheme advisers, trustees and sponsors in safeguarding the financial futures of scheme members. We understand the time constraints, the weight of decision-making, and the need for tailored solutions that address the unique needs of each Defined Benefit Scheme.

We understand…

that in a landscape transformed by evolving market dynamics, heightened financial responsibilities and shifting regulations, DB pension scheme advisers, trustees and sponsors face unprecedented challenges. The pressure to manage schemes efficiently, identify suitable solutions, and navigate the complexities of de-risking has never been greater.

We are committed…

to offering a comprehensive service that places relationships and people at the forefront. We stand as a partner, not just a provider, dedicated to supporting pension schemes at every stage of their de-risking journey.

 

Your journey, our solutions

We understand the many challenges facing Defined Benefit Pension Schemes now, and in the years to come.

We have developed a suite of products, leveraging the unique strengths and scale of our asset manager (M&G Investments) and the expertise of our Life company (Prudential) as an asset owner.

The key aim for a Trustee is to safeguard the payment of members' pensions now, and in the future.

The Trustee enters into a standard buy-in policy with Prudential Assurance Company (PAC), scheme members then benefit from a fully insured solution.

Not all schemes are at the point of buy out and sponsors may have growing concerns around pension schemes accumulating a build-up of surplus.

We offer solutions that evolve through the life of a scheme to efficiently match changing cashflow requirements.

Latest news


In November we announced the launch of our Value Share Bulk Purchase Annuity (“BPA”) proposition by completing a c.£500m transaction with a private Corporate Sponsor and its UK Pension Scheme, insuring c.3,200 pensioner and deferred members.

The first of its kind, this structure allows Trustees to insure the Scheme members in exactly the same way as a traditional buy-in transaction while also allowing Corporate Sponsors to participate in the risk and reward generated from insuring their well-funded UK pension schemes.

M&G has been working for several years to develop this proposition and expects that this proof of concept transaction will open the door for many more Sponsors to consider this solution as a viable endgame for their UK pension schemes.

The Sponsor, Trustee and M&G have been working tirelessly on this ground-breaking transaction and the strong alignment of interest between all parties involved has enabled this successful outcome.
