Navigating the DB superfund regime – is it right for you?

With the recent publication of The Pensions Regulator’s interim regime for capital-backed consolidation vehicles, the first “superfund” transactions are now closer than ever. The superfunds could be an attractive option for the trustees and sponsors of schemes which might not be able to afford a full buyout in the short-term.

Join Amanda Latham, Jack Sharman and Tom Hargreaves, who have been actively involved in researching and advising clients on the superfunds since their launch in 2018.

This webinar will give you:

  • An independent view on the new superfund models and who they’re suitable for
  • Confidence in assessing the superfunds in the context of the full range of options for the long-term destination for your scheme
  • An understanding of how to start planning your scheme’s journey towards your long-term target.

Pre-webinar survey:

  • Are you actively considering superfunds as a long-term destination for your scheme?
  • Is your scheme currently funded to a superfund level, or could your sponsoring employer reasonably afford the extra cost of getting to that funding level?
  • Have you (or your advisers) considered the full range of other long-term destinations for your scheme?
