Retirement and pensions
Pension solutions to meet the needs of employers and employees
Employers and trustees have an important role to play to ensure that retirement works for everyone. Those with defined benefit (DB) plans face ever-growing risks such as low interest rates, market volatility and longer life spans.
Whilst defined contribution (DC) plans address some of these concerns for employers, the risk is moved over to the employees, who are responsible for saving for their own retirement and exposed to the risk of low return.
We can help you assess your requirements and design and execute an efficient and flexible retirement programme – including customised plans, such as hybrid arrangements to suit your workforce.
