De-risking report 2025

WTW’s specialist Transactions team has extensive experience of working with clients who are looking to purchase bulk annuities and longevity swaps. It’s a busy market and we have been at the forefront, driving innovation for large and small transactions.

Superfunds open up a route for schemes to continue without sponsor support in order to reach their end goal – be that buyout or self-sufficient run-off. Continuing can mean that member outcomes are materially better than they would otherwise have been. Over time, superfunds should also become efficient vehicles for small pension schemes looking for lower costs and access to optimised investment strategies

Whether it be auditing member data, data improvement exercises or bulk calculation projects, we support pensions schemes to improve their data and meet trustee objectives.

We have a team of dedicated project specialists, who are also experienced pensions professionals. They have a unique blend of technical, actuarial, consulting and administration experience with industry recognised qualifications and extensive project management experience. They use their technical expertise to plan and deliver high value, complex projects effectively and efficiently.

WTW’s Twilight service has a proven track record of leading clients successfully through the important last months of a scheme’s life, and delivering a safe and efficient route through territory that is unfamiliar to many trustees and scheme sponsors.

We focus on the delivery of high quality, best practice exercises for companies and trustees who recognise the need to provide additional member options and/or to improve awareness and understanding of existing options.

We partner with you to address your pensions and savings challenges together. 

Trustees play a vital role in delivering high-quality defined benefit (DB), defined contribution (DC) and hybrid pension arrangements. WTW partners with trustees, cutting through complexity to provide clear thinking and solutions that help trustees deliver the best for members whose retirement savings they look after.

WTW is a leading global organisation partnering with sponsors of pension schemes to provide innovative solutions in all areas of cost and risk management, governance and design to ensure corporate objectives are met.
