Why the big deal about small bulk annuity transactions (Pensions Expert)
Why the big deal about small bulk annuity transactions (Pensions Expert)
Pensions Expert published an article that argues that improved funding levels, new insurer entrants and streamlined processes have turned small defined benefit bulk annuity transactions (below £100 million) into a core, highly competitive segment of the de‑risking market, with more than half of over 300 deals in the past three years under this threshold. Insurers have invested in technology and standardized workflows, reducing marginal costs and making smaller deals operationally viable, while consultants have created dedicated small‑scheme services. As competition has increased, insurer margins on small transactions have fallen toward those on larger deals, but smaller cases remain attractive because they provide a steady, less “lumpy” flow of business that can smooth insurers’ financial results.

Dutch Longevity Risk Transfer Market Growing as Pension Scheme Transition Deadline Boosts Deal Activity (L&M Investor)
Dutch insurers are ramping up longevity risk transfer to reinsurers as defined benefit schemes accelerate bulk annuity buy‑outs ahead of the Futures of Pensions Act transition deadline, shifting longevity exposure from funds to insurer and then reinsurer balance sheets. This reconfigures Dutch pension market structure toward an insurance‑reinsurance risk chain, reinforces Solvency II‑driven capital management, and deepens cross‑border reinsurance links, drawing on United Kingdom experience and creating diversification benefits for global reinsurers. Key unresolved issues include post‑2028 end‑game choices for closed defined benefit schemes, the sustainability of pricing as volumes grow, and supervisory views on concentrated longevity and reinsurance counterparty risk.
