Aon Conference: Evolution of the Risk Settlement Market

Birmingham: 16 June 2026

London: 25 June 2026

09:00 – 13:20

It has been 39 years since the first UK risk settlement transaction as we know it today. In that time, the market has grown and developed significantly, with an estimated 1 in 25 individuals in the UK now covered by a bulk annuity policy. Innovation is now critical for the market to continue evolving, and the pace of change remains rapid.

In our 2026 Risk Settlement Conference – Evolution of the Risk Settlement Market, we will be sharing the latest market insights, including:

The latest developments that insurers are offering to enhance the member experience
The use of surplus in buyout – the range of options available and case study insights to what some clients have implemented
Moving from buy-in to buyout – sharing best practice on how to make the administrative transition as smooth as possible.
A panel discussion focusing on the alternative endgame options that schemes may have not yet considered, including captives and consolidators, offering a balanced view of when alternatives may be appropriate.

We are delighted to announce that Canada Life’s CEO Emma Watkins will be making this years’ keynote address, where she will be sharing insights on emerging trends and her thoughts on where the risk settlement market is really heading.

Places are limited at both venues, if you would like to attend this free conference, please register your interest as soon as possible.
