Risk Management - Early Retirement Exercises

Early Retirement Exercises (NEW!)



An early retirement exercise can be offered to both deferred and active members of a defined benefit scheme over the age of 55 and these members have a right to commute part of their pension for a tax free cash lump sum. Taking this tax-free cash now accelerates the payment of benefits out of the scheme and reduces the risks, such as investment and longevity risk, and liabilities associated with a defined benefit scheme.

This video looks at these exercises and why a large number of early retirements can reduce the risks associated with a defined benefit pension scheme. Please click on the image above to view the training video or click here to download a printer-friendly PDF version.
