Our expert-led session gathers leading endgame consultants and an experienced insurer to help you confidently approach the key decisions in your scheme's endgame journey – from risk transfer and buy-in, to full scheme wind-up.

This half-day workshop is designed for pension scheme trustees and sponsors seeking a comprehensive and practical understanding of buying out and winding up their DB pension scheme. 

This will be a small, interactive workshop with in-depth discussion and audience Q&A, led by our endgame experts and joined by an experienced insurer.

We will cover:

• Introduction to risk transfer: The fundamentals of buy-ins and buy-outs, and current buy-in market.
• Preparing your scheme for market: How to best position your scheme for the insurance market. 
• A dual perspective of the transaction: Insights from both the scheme and insurer’s point of view.
• From buy-in to buy-out: Essential steps, key issues, and practical considerations for achieving a full scheme wind-up.
