Market poised for accelerated risk transfer activity

Pension risk transfer activity saw another banner year in 2014 with more jumbo buyout deals and a substantial uptick in voluntary cashout programs generating further interest and momentum. Despite falling funding levels, 2015 also provides many opportunities to manage and transfer pension risk and raises a host of recent developments sponsors should consider.
