Pensions

Increasing numbers of defined benefit pension schemes want to match their assets more closely to their liabilities. We design tailored solutions to match the individual liability requirements of each pension fund. We can access a range of sophisticated investment strategies to help achieve the liability-matching requirement.

Aberdeen Standard Investments is an asset manager for today’s global opportunities and one of the UK’s foremost defined contribution (DC) pension managers. Our products include a broad range of pension solutions, which we have designed specifically to meet the evolving needs of our clients. Our DC investment solutions are available through a variety of routes and may be accessed by clients globally.

• What simple steps could substantially improve the retirement outcome?
• What impact does reducing volatility have?
• What constitutes ‘quality’?
