The benefits of Flow for Asset Management clients

Industry leaders expect 2025 to be another successful year for the UK PRT market, maintaining the historically high buy-in and buyout volumes that we have seen in recent years.  The PRT market has evolved dramatically over the past couple of years. Schemes who have found themselves fully funded ahead of schedule have sought solutions for illiquid asset challenges, and insurers have innovated to provide solutions for both small and large pension schemes. In this episode, Dom Moret, Head of Origination and Execution and Rachel Cutts, Origination and Execution Director, reflect on the predictions made by John Towner, MD of UK PRT and Natalie Bentley, Head of Pricing Execution, in our podcast episode from this time last year, as well as making their own predictions for 2025 and beyond.
