Myles Pink

I advise pension schemes on removing risk through insurance-based solutions: buy-ins, buy-outs and longevity swaps.

I work with pension schemes that are at varying stages in their de-risking journey plans to help them determine when it is appropriate to focus on pension risk transfer.

LCP helps clients in this strategic planning using a new tool we have developed for measuring longevity risk more robustly, called LifeAnalytics. By combining the output from this measuring tool with a measure of the other risks that the pension scheme is carrying, we can advise on the value-for-money and affordability of different de-risking solutions.

Once we have determined when it is appropriate to remove longevity risk, by what means it is most efficient and at what price, we leverage our extensive transaction experience and strong relationships with the insurers that provide these solutions, to advise our clients on obtaining the best price and terms available.

I began my time in this market as one of the founding management team at Paternoster in 2006 and transferred to Rothesay Life when it bought Paternoster in 2011. For 8 years I worked on the insurance side of the business structuring and negotiating buy-ins, buy-outs and longevity swaps including some of the first buy-ins (eg the £813m buy-in for P&O in 2007), the £3bn longevity swap for BMW in 2011 and buy-outs for a number of clients including InterContinental Hotels (£440m). Since joining LCP in March 2014, I have advised the Philips Pension Fund Trustees on 4 buy-in transactions, leading to a full buy-out (totalling over £3.5bn) and Total on its £1.6bn collateralised buy-in.
