    UK private-sector defined benefit (DB) pension schemes are better funded than ever before, and the options for trustees and sponsors have widened. The potential benefits for members, corporates and the wider UK economy are significant if DB schemes opt to run on for the longer term. Emily Tann, Solutions Designer, outlines the choices DB schemes face and the potential implications.

    Key takeaways:

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