May 2023

In this edition of Pension Clicks, we launch our 2023 DB Global Pension Risk Survey for UK pension scheme decision-makers, we round up the latest pensions news in In Sight, and our Risk Settlement Market Update reports on 2022 activity and looks ahead to 2023.

Global Pension Risk Survey

We invite you to participate in Aon’s UK Pension Risk Survey. The survey is market-leading in its coverage of the asset, liability and other risks inherent in defined benefit (DB) pension plans. It aims to understand your risk management philosophy and your plans to manage your DB assets and liabilities over the coming year.

Aon In The Press

In April Aon announced that early signs in this year’s UK pension risk settlement market indicate that smaller schemes need to be aware of changing market dynamics that will affect how they reach their endgame. With the announcement on 13 April that the Pensions Regulator had authorised the UK’s first Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) Scheme – the Royal Mail Collective Pension Plan, Aon reflects on this landmark moment and urges the Government to commit to bringing wider forms of CDC to the masses by the end of 2024.
