Webinar description:
As a result of scheme closures, most schemes are now cashflow negative and payments to pensioners exceed the contributions from members and the sponsoring employer.
Against this backdrop, many pension schemes are turning their attention to endgame – looking at how they can both continue to provide the benefits to members while minimising the costs and risks to the sponsor.
This webinar will look at how a pension scheme can determine the right endgame strategy – looking at setting the right objectives and how to achieve them.
It will also look at investment in the endgame phase – asking which sort of assets can be included in an endgame strategy, how to incorporate asset classes such as private assets into such a strategy and assess, for schemes looking to buyout, which sort of assets can help match buyout pricing.

Ian advises pension trustees and sponsors on developing and implementing strategies for achieving the long-term goals of their pension scheme. He helps clients to identify and define their endgame objectives, and then helps them to build and implement integrated funding, investment and covenant strategies tailored to their unique circumstances.
Ian’s advisory style is pragmatic and collaborative. He works with his clients and their other advisers to explore the options, but then puts himself in the client’s shoes to provide a clear recommendation as to what he would do if he were them. He does not over-engineer, but provides clear and actionable advice to help pension schemes take control of their situation, by focusing on the issues that will have the biggest impact.
