Claire joins from Mercer’s Risk Transfer team where she focused on helping clients reduce the risk in their defined benefit pension schemes through a range of de-risking strategies, including both risk transfer transactions and member options exercises. Claire has worked and advised on a variety of bulk annuity transactions, ranging from £13m to £1bn in size.
Commenting on what Claire brings to the Risk Transfer Team, James Mullins, Head of Risk Transfer says: “With Claire’s experience across many areas of risk transfer she will be a great addition to our successful and growing team of experts. Working with schemes and insurers we want to ensure risk transfer journeys provide the best possible outcome for our clients’ pension schemes, and most importantly, their members. It’s an exciting time for buy-ins, buy-outs, longevity swap and non-traditional risk transfer options and we have no doubt that the remainder of this year, and into 2022, will be a successful time for our clients and a busy time for our team. By the end of the year, we expect to have led the advice on close to 20% of the total buy-in and buy-out market this year.”
Commenting on her new role, Claire says:
“I am thrilled to join the exceptional risk transfer team at Hymans Robertson. The second half of 2021 has already been an incredibly busy time for transactions, and I am excited to be helping our clients on their de-risking journeys, as well as embracing the opportunities posed by developments in the Risk Transfer market.”
