Delegated Pension Manager

Learn how your organization can benefit from delegated pension manager. 

What is Delegated Pension Manager?

Delegated Pension Manager (DPM) is a comprehensive approach to pension plan management that allows plan sponsors to outsource, co-source, or even in-source management of key investment, actuarial and administrative roles on behalf of a client, their objectives, timelines and preferred risk level.

Why is DPM Important?

Due to changing regulations and increasing market volatility, pension plan management has become more complicated. As a result, more plan sponsors are revisiting their overall pension strategy, implementing dynamic investment policies, and executing partial or full liability settlements.

However, traditional pension plan management approaches often lack the agility required to manage a plan through the complexities of today’s landscape efficiently. This can result in poor coordination, inconsistent advice, and slow execution of a sub-optimal strategy.

What are the Benefits of Delegated Pension Manager?

A DPM approach to pension plan management provides plan sponsors with a single point of contact to integrate and execute the strategies needed to take them from today to their desired future state. Delegated pension management can be tailored to best fit an organization’s needs and strengths, consolidate vendors and can lead to time — and fee — savings.

How Does Aon’s DPM Work?

Integrated Strategy Development

Aon’s DPM solution provides integrated, end-to-end pension plan management via streamlined communication and agile execution. With your approval, Aon executes investment, actuarial and administrative roles and communicates with you every step of the way. We consolidate vendors and work to save you time and reduce fees.

Experience to Make it Happen

With 550 clients1  and $150.3 billion in total assets under management2  (as of December 31, 2022), we leverage our global scale while also delivering local knowledge, flexibility and customized solutions.

DPM gives our clients access to Aon’s collective scale and to alternative asset classes that typically are not available based on a plan’s standalone asset size. These potential fee savings and diversification benefits are even more important in a volatile market.3

Flexible and Customized Approach

We will develop a customized solution to help you navigate your desired future state, whether full plan termination or a more sustainable, ongoing pension management strategy. DPM can be fully outsourced to us for complete management of your pension plan, co-sourced to retain certain functions in-house or in-sourced to use Aon’s powerful risk management tools.
