Defined benefit consolidation

Helping sponsors and trustees run schemes more efficiently.

Everything that your scheme needs

DB pensions are complex, and often time consuming for sponsors and trustees. More and more schemes are looking to alleviate the burden by moving away from traditional governance and operational models – whether that’s by appointing a professional trustee or looking at other bundled solutions.

Isio is proud to be at the forefront of Defined Benefit (DB) operational consolidation. Our award-winning solutions are now approaching £3bn of assets, having been running for over 5 years. With this scale we are helping clients save time and cost running their DB schemes.

Make DB schemes better, stronger, faster… and simpler

Risk settlement is dominating headlines for defined benefit pension schemes. But even with a more benign funding landscape, it’s not an option for most schemes just yet. That means efficient management must be top of the agenda.
