Why Non-German Sponsors Should Pay Attention

If your organization has completed pension buy-outs in the UK or US and runs a German branch, you’re already familiar with the strategic benefits of transferring pension risk. Now is the moment to understand how a buy-out can work in Germany. The buy-out market there is still small but is accelerating. Join our webinar to learn what makes the German landscape different and how a German buy-out works.

The Market Today: A Developing but Flexible Ecosystem

Germany’s buy-out trend hasn’t reached the scale seen in Anglo-Saxon markets, but momentum is growing fast. Buying out German liabilities is not simply a copy-and-paste of your US or UK process. Legal, regulatory, and actuarial conventions differ, and so do participant communications and administrative practices.

What our webinar covers

  • Step-by-step: How a German buy-out works
  • Provider differences: Who will take liabilities, and what are different approaches that are evolving in the German market (fee model vs. equity contribution)
  • Communication and governance: How to manage member communications, works council expectations and trustee responsibilities in Germany

Benefits for UK and US sponsors

  1. Reduce pension risks: Learn how a buy-out transfers longevity, investment and administration risks off your balance sheet
  2. Improve certainty and reporting: Discover how buy-out pricing and legal closure can simplify accounting and covenant exposure
  3. Operational confidence: leave with a clear roadmap that meets German regulatory expectations
