‘Seize the moment’ – a pivotal opportunity for corporate sponsors of DB schemes
Welcome to LCP’s sixth annual report into pensions issues for corporate sponsors.
Schemes have a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity’ to reap rewards for members and corporate balance sheets.
For decades, the narrative on Defined Benefit pension schemes has been around clearing deficits, reducing investment risk, and ideally getting the scheme off the corporate balance sheet as soon as possible. But the dramatic events of the last year have allowed sponsors to see their DB pension scheme as an opportunity and not simply a risky cost.
This report highlights the variety of options now open to mature DB schemes approaching the end of their journey and urges schemes to get their strategy right before making their plan of action.
