Our pro-active advice can help employers understand the risks of their current arrangements, implement change, and put their business on a more sustainable and robust footing going forward.
Plan sponsors inject ever-increasing amounts of capital into their pension schemes, yet still may not get them under control. The pension reserve in the company accounts can fluctuate wildly from year to year, jeopardising financial plans, share prices and borrowing facilities.
Whilst the trustees and employer usually share a common objective of ensuring that members’ benefits are paid, several different approaches can be taken to achieving that goal. This is where the employer will benefit from independent advice in building a strategy that formalises and meets their objectives.
With potential conflicts leading to less and less director level company representation on trustee boards, employers are turning to their own professional advisers to help them devise a pension strategy. The support provided to employers can range from helping them negotiate with the trustees over the short term funding required by the scheme, to developing a long term de-risking strategy.
The financial accounting implications of any proposed strategies are also fully investigated.
