Clara the superfund with super powers, transforming DB pensions
Academy training by Clara Pensions
Clara’s recent transactions with the Sears Retail Pension Scheme and Debenhams Retirement Scheme mean the organisation is now serving the needs of 20,000 members and overseeing approximately £1.2bn of assets.
Join us as we meet Ashu Bhargava, Clara’s Chief Origination Officer and discover what this superfund is and how it works. We’ll explore what it takes to start a new proposition in this industry and what investments are needed to perform such huge transactions. We’ll also learn about the positive outcomes that can be achieved when putting pension scheme members first.

Ashu has worked with many boards of trustees and sponsors of pensions schemes on optimising their journey plans to self-sufficiency or buyout. Ashu joined Clara as he believes Clara takes innovative journey plan optimisation to another level and can provide even greater security for members and even greater certainty for sponsors, all at a lower cost.
Ashu has 25 years’ experience in the pensions market, including at WTW, where he worked as both a Scheme and Corporate Actuary. While at WTW, a project led by Ashu won the Professional Pensions Pension Scheme Trustees of the Year Award and Pension Age Best Risk Management Exercise Award.
