Aon’s analysis of 37 UK-listed sponsors’ bulk annuity deals above £500 million over 20 years finds that more than 80% outperformed the FTSE 100 on the announcement day, with an average excess return of 1.2%. Most transactions were structured as buy-ins, implying markets reward de-risking even without full buyout and balance sheet derecognition. Aon reports less than a 0.05% probability that the observed outperformance is random, suggesting a robust positive correlation between bulk annuity announcements and same-day share price reaction. For overseas-listed sponsors, based on 23 transactions over £1 billion, average outperformance versus the relevant local index was close to zero, which Aon attributes to weaker investor visibility of UK pension developments and lower perceived materiality of UK schemes in group accounts. The firm concludes that transaction structure and communication of pension “endgame” strategy to shareholders are critical.
