    384: Buyout 2.0: Back to basics
    Oct 30 2025
    Our Head of Solutions Distribution joins the podcast to share our latest endgame thinking for DB schemes.
    It won’t have escaped DB clients’ attention that there’s recently been significant talk of surplus extraction. However, we strongly believe it’s important not to lose sight of the reason we’re here in the first place: to help schemes meet their core fiduciary duty to pay all members’ pensions as they fall due, with a buy-in or buyout usually seen as the gold standard objective for many trustees.
    To discuss all this and more, our Head of Solutions Distribution, Lara Edmonstone-West, gets behind the microphone.
