DB Endgame Strategy

The majority of DB pension schemes are now entering into the final stages of their lives. It’s a complex stage in a scheme’s journey, with a need for expert strategic planning and execution.

We understand how difficult this stage in a scheme’s life can be. Not all schemes will have the same target endgame. Even schemes with the same endgame in mind will require different strategies to get there.

Expert strategic planning is needed to take all the different options and activities and turn them into a single cohesive path that takes the scheme to its desired endgame. 

How we can help

We help pension scheme trustees and sponsors develop and deliver a focused strategy that allows them to successfully progress towards their specific long-term objective, whether that’s buy-out, run-off or third party capital.

Our team of experts will work together with you to establish a clear strategy that captures all the moving parts, reduces risk and costs along the way, and delivers the best possible outcomes for scheme members.

The contribution [of Hymans Robertson] over the time they have taken the ‘driving seat’ has been absolutely outstanding. The attention to detail, pragmatism and management of issues has been most impressive.
