Pension Risk Management

Managing risk is an ever-present concern among corporate pension plan sponsors. At Aon, our goal is to help lower risk to avoid future deficits. We collaborate with sponsors to determine objectives, develop asset/liability management strategies and put important control levers in place. Our solutions cover pension risk transfer, lump sum distributions, plan termination and liability driven investing.

Key Reasons to Manage Pension Risk

Pension risk poses challenges to plan sponsors, and our consultants have the expertise to solve them:

  • Pension plans distract senior management from their core business responsibilities
  • Investors are more aware of pension risk, impacting stock prices and credit ratings
  • Organizations that decrease the size and risk of their plans gain a competitive advantage
