Legal & General publishes on its website:
“Legal & General Assurance Society Limited (“Legal & General”) today announces that it has agreed a £275 million buy-in transaction with the Trustee of the Hitachi UK Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”).
This transaction, the Scheme’s first with Legal & General, covers the Scheme’s remaining uninsured deferred members and retirees since the Scheme underwent its first buy-in transaction with Scottish Widows in 2018.
By locking the transaction price to the assets of the Scheme, Legal & General was able to give the Trustee a high degree of transaction certainty whilst enabling them to take advantage of favourable pricing conditions and market capacity.”
