Endgame options for smaller DB schemes

Smaller DB schemes face unique challenges relating to disproportionate levels of costs and barriers to good governance. However, a growing number of small scheme solutions are appearing in the market. Stoneport’s management team provides an overview of how alternative endgame solutions for smaller schemes operate including their approach to controlling costs and managing risks, and the key considerations when deciding on the right approach for your scheme.
