De-risking defined benefit: putting you back in charge of your corporate destiny

CBI pensions conference
09 September 08.00 - 14.00

Defined benefit (DB) pensions are expensive. Most companies have now closed their schemes to new members and increasingly firms are closing them to new accrual. While this step will cap the cost of DB schemes, volatile legacy deficits remain on the balance sheet. Chief executives and FDs are increasingly shifting their focus to finding practical solutions to controlling and reducing this long-term risk.

This conference will look at the many options open to firms, providing insights into innovations in the market, offering practical solutions to business problems and exploring the Regulator’s approach to policing de-risking.

This is an essential event for CEOs, FDs and pension professionals who do not want to be held to ransom by their pension schemes even after closure. It is designed to help you get back in control of your own corporate destiny.

Key reasons to attend:

·         Investigate practical solutions to pension de-risking
·         Network with professionals and other firms to find out what strategies they have put in place
·         Hear case studies from firms that have already taken action

The programme will examine the following:

·         The risks facing your company from DB liabilities
·         Solutions to smooth the volatility your DB scheme poses
·         Longevity swaps, liability options  and buy-outs as a way to reduce total risk
·         Government approaches to protecting the economic performance of DB sponsors
