This is an historic event and has been retained on the website for your information.
2007 saw significant developments in the pension buyout and settlement market. As well as widespread product innovation, we saw a number of high profile cases of buyouts, bulk annuity purchases and sponsor separation.
On Wednesday 26 March 2008 at Haberdashers’ Hall, EC1A, Watson Wyatt’s Corporate Consulting Group will hold a seminar on the latest developments in the pension buyout and settlement market. Based on recent experience, our speakers will look at the practical options and issues for sponsors, in particular considering the viewpoints of trustees and providers.
The seminar is aimed at those with responsibility in the sponsor for managing UK defined benefit pensions and the associated risks.

The past year has seen significant innovation in the pension settlement market. What are the new solutions this has produced and how has this affected prices? This session will consider:
- New products
- Changes to buyout pricing
- Longevity hedging
With a number of significant pension buyouts having taken place – why are some employers looking to buy out and others not, how do you select a particular provider or solution and what are the alternatives if you don’t wish to buy out? Taking the employer’s perspective, this session will examine:
- What makes an employer transfer away their pension liabilities
- Selecting a solution and provider
- Alternatives to buyout
What is the provider's experience of recent transactions and what are the key areas sponsors and trustees are selecting them on? This session will look at:
- Recent experiences
- What sponsors and trustees are looking for in an insurer
- What could make the buyout process more efficient
The seminar will be followed by a drinks reception.
