Strategic Planning
SET YOUR LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES AND SET A PLAN TO ACHIEVE THEM
Employer’s long term objectives usually don’t match the Trustees’ objectives. We will help you set a strategy that works for you both.
What is a long term strategy?
Why do we need one?
The Trustees will have a long-term journey plan in mind – either to buyout or self-sufficiency for the Scheme.
Employers will have their own objectives that can get in the way – such as the amount of risk they are underwriting, and the size and volatility of the contributions.
We can help you ensure that the Trustees and the Employer have a journey plan that each party can get behind and support in the long term.
