Charlie Finch

I joined LCP in 2000 and provide pensions advice to both companies and pension plan trustees with particular focus on strategic advice and longevity de-risking.

I jointly set up LCP's award-winning pension risk transfer practice in 2006 and have since helped many clients to design and implement buy-ins and buy-outs to reduce longevity risk. Transactions range from £10m to over £3bn including some of the most innovative in the UK such as for the c£10bn ICI pension fund, £7.5bn British Steel Pension Scheme and £4bn Deutsche Bank scheme.

Advising from a strategic level right down to execution requires a wide range of skills – funding, investment strategy and a deep understanding of the pension risk transfer market. I find nothing is more rewarding than helping clients achieve meaningful steps and delivering results that exceed their expectations.

I am also LCP’s lead spokesperson for pension risk transfer and have been author of LCP’s authoritative annual report on the market since 2007.

• "Your project management has been impeccable, and there is simply no way we could have achieved anything like what we have without it."
