In the latest podcast from Herbert Smith Freehills'
pension team, Rachel Pinto, Partner, is
joined by Simon Bramwell, Partner and Head of
Longevity Risk Transactions at Barnett
Waddingham and Matt Wilmington, Head of
Origination – Bulk Annuities at Scottish Widows. In
their conversation, Rachel, Simon and Matt cover:
- the preparations that schemes need to make before approaching
the insurance market;
- the reasons why insurers need certain information from schemes
at an early stage in the quotation process;
- how insurers “triage” schemes in a busy market;
and
- the practical challenges that schemes can encounter when trying
to respond quickly to pricing moving in their favour.
