LCP: Yorkshire Building Society Pension Scheme secures £245m buy-in with PIC

“The Trustees of the Yorkshire Building Society Pension Scheme has purchased a £245m pensioner buy-in policy with Pension Insurance Corporation, a PRA-regulated life insurer. The insurance policy covers around a half of the Scheme’s pensioner liabilities at November 2018.

LCP led the advice to the Trustee in preparing for the transaction and negotiating the price and terms of the buy-in. DLA Piper provided legal advice to the Trustee in preparing for and executing the transactions
