Today Professional Pensions have published an article by Laura Pertile, Director of Member and Operational Services here at Just. The article surfaces findings, from our DB member research earlier this year, relating to how critical it is for our industry to identify and be in tune with the needs of vulnerable customers. Our conclusion is that we need to go beyond the surface because the fact is all of us can be vulnerable at some points in our lives and we'd want to know that we are going to be understood and supported.

Today we have announced that we’ve secured £1.8 billion of benefits for 22,500 members of the G4S Pension Scheme. The transaction was the culmination of a rigorous process and evidences our ability to support large and complex schemes in their de-risking journey. We look forward to providing a brilliant member experience for years to come.

Just - Defined Benefit Solutions are pleased to have completed the buy-in for the St Modwen Pensions scheme and it’s 270 members. This was another example of great collaboration to ensure an efficient process and is further evidence that there is a vibrant insurance de-risking market for schemes of all sizes. Many thanks to Tiziana Perrella of Dalriada Trustees Limited and Harry Harper of XPS Group for their support throughout this project.

Our purpose here at Just is to help people achieve a better later life. With more and more schemes moving through to buy-out we concluded it was time to ask DB members what their needs, expectations, concerns and outlook for retirement were so that we can provide the best service based on what they tell us. Our research uncovered some concerning insights into how ill equipped some DB members are to achieve their retirement goals and what this means for us and the BPA industry. You can read our report here ( 👇 ) and please do get in touch with the team here at Just - Defined Benefit Solutions if you have any questions and you'd like to explore what this means for you and your members. https://lnkd.in/eVFRD8HY #definedbenefits #bulkannuities #pensions Andy Fryer Alex Collins Laura Pertile Peter Jennings Ross Breckon Geraint Jones Kishan Radia Martin Parker Alma Goyanes-Payne

Do you think that DB Members are all OK and don’t need support? You may want to think again.  Earlier this year Just - Defined Benefit Solutions carried out research with over 1500 DB members. We wanted to find out, directly from them, what their needs are and where we could enhance the support we and the BPA industry provide. Today, we can share our headline findings. There’s plenty of insights and we would be happy to discuss these with you, so have a read and please get in touch if you have any questions. For those of you at PLSA today, you will be able to catch Andy Fryer and Alex Collins at 12.20 in Hall 1C, sharing some of the nuggets from the research and of course you can find us on stand B9 to find out more. #definedbenefits #PLSA24 #bulkannuities #pensions Read the full report here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eVFRD8HY
