Webinar: Pensions and the Impact of Interest Rates

Written by Charlotte Hales on November 3, 2023

2nd November – 08:00am – 09:00am

 

Defined benefit pension obligations are estimated by discounting long term volatile cash flows by interest rates governed by a number of uncertain assumptions. Whatever you think about those assumptions, the fact that rates have risen by up to 5% over the last 12 to 18 months means the pension obligations that you are calculating have fundamentally changed.

This webinar explores how to assess the pension scheme discount at your appointment, how to manage the acquired liabilities, and how to minimise or eliminate that discount at the end of your appointment or on exit.
