During 2021 Pegasus was appointed as Project Manager by the Trustee of two DB schemes (combined assets £1.7bn) to complete a full buy-in. Complications were a requirement for a scheme merger before the transaction, and the allocation of a small surplus.
Target for completion was 11 months – a very challenging timescale.
The project involved careful management of multiple workstreams, across administration, legal, actuarial and investment.
This included identifying an appropriate insurer and rearranging the existing portfolio over a period of months.
One feature was delegation of certain decisions across the project, within a strong control environment. This meant that the project was completed on time alongside all other workstreams.
