How DB schemes could maximise their potential | Insight Investment

Defined benefit (DB) pension schemes in the UK are better funded than ever before, and the options for trustees and sponsors have widened. The benefits for members, corporates and the wider UK economy are significant.

The potential for DB schemes is outlined in the video below by Insight’s Callum Duffy and Hannah Ni Riain, who offer a detailed overview of the choices DB schemes face and the potential implications.

In the video, they:

• show how the health of DB schemes today, combined with new government proposals, present significant opportunities for pension scheme members and sponsors to benefit;
• explain the significant security offered by DB schemes for pension scheme members, which sets a solid foundation for schemes to run on for the long term; and
• offer practical examples of how DB schemes could invest to run on for the long term, pursuing a growing surplus while maintaining a secure retirement income for members.
