Welcome to Burges Salmon’s Pensions Law Summary on alternatives to buy-out.

Our pensions law summaries aim to simplify complicated topics in pensions law and provide practical steps for employers and trustees. These summaries cover a range of topics including scheme funding, ESG and the Pension Schemes Act 2021.

Our team are experts in all areas of pensions law and can assist you with any issues or questions you may have on this topic.

As schemes mature and trustees and employers wish to provide greater certainty for their members and corporate groups, seeking to secure member liabilities is becoming increasingly important. In addition to buy-out and buy-in, other options available to trustees and employers include self-sufficiency funding of the scheme, transferring liabilities to a consolidator, a capital backed option, transfer to master trust and PPF plus Buy Out. In this summary we explore each of these options and provide practical steps for trustees and employers considering such alternatives.
