Legal & General agrees a £49m buy-in transaction with Triumph International Pension Scheme

17 December 2021

Legal & General Assurance Society Limited (“Legal & General”) today announces that it has agreed a £49 million full-scheme buy-in transaction with the Triumph International Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”), covering around 140 deferred and 210 retired members.

The sponsoring company, Triumph International Limited, is one of the world’s leading underwear and lingerie brands, designing and distributing women’s and men’s underwear, leisurewear and sportswear.

Legal & General was able to work flexibly with the Trustees during the process to find the right solution for the Scheme. In this case, this meant enabling them to lock the price to the Scheme assets once the transaction had been agreed so that any risk of movement in pricing was mitigated for the Trustees once they entered exclusivity with Legal & General.

Legal & General is committed to its purpose of inclusive capitalism, using these and other scheme funds to create a better life for everyone by investing back into society, tackling social issues like the housing crisis and climate change. This benefits the economy, while generating the right level of returns needed to pay back the pension promises it takes on.

The Trustees were advised on the transaction by XPS.
