The Scheme’s sponsor, the Chartered Insurance Institute (“the Institute”), is a professional body dedicated to building trust in the insurance and financial planning profession.
Today’s announcement marks a significant milestone in the Scheme’s de-risking journey and is the culmination of several year’s planning and collaboration between the Trustees, the Institute and advisors Mercer. The Scheme, with the support of Legal & General, will now be taking the next steps to finalise the buy-in policy.
