As insurers get busier, they’re looking carefully at the level of preparation work that schemes have carried out and they are keen to engage with schemes that can demonstrate the necessary level of commitment to a transaction. Demonstrating to the risk transfer provider that your scheme’s membership data is of high quality will help your scheme to stand out in a crowded market, and secure competitive pricing on your transaction.

We’re experts in supporting trustees and scheme sponsors on their scheme’s data journey. We understand the steps required to prepare the scheme for a transaction. We can undertake all aspects of the data preparation work – this can be included alongside other BW services or on a standalone project basis.  

Our services include: 

• Data gap analysis with comprehensive reporting and tailored recommendations, targeting best insurer pricing;
• All aspects of data cleanse work and planning to meet your transaction objectives;
• Targeted benefit audit;
• Data verification exercise to check data with members;
• Obtaining marital status and contingent spouse data;
• Member tracing and mortality screening.

• Pensioner payroll, ensuring continuity of service at the point of insolvency
• Member calculations in line with PPF legislation
• Member announcements and bespoke communications
• Data verification with members
• Data audit and rectification

• Transfer of underfunded schemes to the PPF
• Comprehensive preparation for buyout for schemes that are funded above PPF levels

We also carry the PPF Trustmark. This is in recognition of our collaborative work with the PPF and specialist knowledge. It reassures members and other scheme stakeholders of our commitment to delivering the high standards expected by the PPF.
