Global Pension Risk Survey: How are Schemes Managing their Maturity? 2019 | Aon | 19 September 2019 |

Increasing numbers of DB pension schemes are closing. And those that remain open are seeing rising proportions of deferred and pensioner members. The result is that DB schemes are maturing rapidly and these shorter deadlines bring decisions about both the scheme assets and the liabilities into sharp focus.

Most schemes' long-term objectives are now closer than they have ever been – and these shorter deadlines bring decisions into sharp focus.

Trustees and sponsors need to make an increasing number of decisions, including those on long-term targets, liability management, investment strategy and approaches to hedging longevity risk. And, at the same time, there are new issues to consider such as cyber risk and GMP equalisation.

The webinar will cover:

• How should schemes tackle the issues they need to consider?
• How can they ensure they make the right decisions?
• These changes affect open and less mature schemes too – what do they need to consider?
• What impact will the Pensions Regulator's desire for schemes to have a long-term target have?
• How are schemes tackling cyber risk and GMP equalisation?
