Investing in UK companies with defined benefit pension schemes: poisoned chalice or golden opportunity?
Defined benefit pension schemes no longer present the obstacle to private equity deals that they have over the last 15 years, according to a new report from Punter Southall Transaction Services.
Punter Southall Transaction Services have launched a research report which asks whether widespread investor fear now presents a golden opportunity to those investors who fully understand the existing defined benefit pension scheme environment. The report details the four key obstacles (or horsemen of the Pensions Apocalypse) that have faced defined benefit pension schemes over the last 15 years, and identifies how each of these might now present an opportunity for investors.
