Negotiating the scheme specific funding requirement, managing the

De-risking the pension scheme balance sheet
Glyn Jones, PSolve

As attention increasingly focuses on managing the real risks faced
by pension schemes there is significant evidence of liability risk
management programmes being implemented via the use of
Derivatives. Very often it is at this point that there can be real
alignment between the needs of the major partners in any pension
scheme arrangement, the Trustees and the Company. We examine
why and how this is the case.
