Welcome to the November edition of Settlement Watch, our monthly newsletter dedicated to bringing you the latest updates on the state of the bulk annuity market, recent buy-outs, buy-ins and longevity swaps, along with a snapshot look at the estimate solvency position of the pension schemes of FTSE100 companies.

Monitoring this market is a useful way to raise awareness of insurance-based solutions for pension schemes and potentially identify opportunities for trustees and sponsors to secure benefits at an attractive cost.
