Pensions Support Index 2017
Our Pension Support Index (PSI) measures the ability of companies in the FTSE 350 to support their defined benefit promise. Rather than just looking at the absolute size of the obligations, we compare the deficit number to the cash generation, profitability and assets of companies supporting their schemes.
Collaboration is the key to success
No single stakeholder can solve today’s pension problems by themselves; we believe collaboration is the answer, even where there are different viewpoints.
We understand how a wide range of decision-makers think, and what they’re looking for – working together, we can rise to the challenge.
