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. We will help you confidently approach the key decisions in your scheme's endgame journey.

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.
