The 18th Conference on
BULK ANNUITIES

Pension Buy-ins and Buyouts
Longevity Swaps and Reinsurance

BEYOND
BREAKING RECORDS

This conference is the main annual occasion for the leading insurers, reinsurers, pension consultants, pension asset managers and lawyers to come together to exchange views on the latest developments and opportunities in the bulk annuity and longevity risk transfer market and the factors which will shape it in the year ahead.

Records were broken in 2019 as bulk annuity business topped £40 billion.This was the cue for the theme Beyond Breaking Records when the key question was how will the market meet continually rising demand over the next decade? What new structures and resources will it need to find? But since then Covid has intervened. What will be its short term and longer term impact on the bulk annuity market?

In recent years the event has attracted delegates from the UK and Channel Islands, USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, Germany, Holland, France, Switzerland, Ireland, Bermuda and Barbados. As one speaker put it last year “I had not realised how far people would travel to it”.
