Special Situations/Interim Appointments

Pension schemes often face a one off, special situation that requires specialist experience and expertise for an interim appointment. This may relate to a scheme merger or closure, a tricky valuation cycle or covenant review or provider procurement review. We can bring the breadth and depth of our expertise to bear to help you meet your objectives. An increasing number of our clients are developing journey plans for their schemes which involve derisking, be that to self-sufficiency or buy out and wind up. We have significant experience of developing and implementing such strategies, often to tight timeframes.
