LV= turns Swiss Re-reinsured longevity swap into £800m Phoenix Life buy-in The Trustee of the LV= Employee Pension Scheme has converted a longevity swap held with UK closed life book consolidator business ReAssure – and reinsured by Swiss Re – into a £800 million buy-in with Phoenix Life.

UK high street retailer Marks & Spencer (M&S) has insured £1.4bn (€1.6bn) of its pension liabilities through buy-in transactions with Aviva and Phoenix Life. The insurance policies cover around a third of the £10bn Marks & Spencer Pension Scheme’s pensioner liabilities, according to LCP, one of the advisers on the deals.

The transactions were agreed using so-called ‘umbrella’ agreements, which set a framework to streamline future de-risking moves. LCP said the M&S scheme was “well-positioned to take advantage of...

Coronavirus didn't break the Arizona economy. It had already cracked Nearly two dozen business groups have made policy recommendations called “Next Steps for Arizona’s Economy” – but they fall short of fixing what was wrong with our economy, even before COVID-19 sent us all to our rooms to think about it. The Arizona Association COVID-19 Task Force wants more financial relief for small businesses, guidance and flexibility from the government about how to reopen safely, and safe harbor protection for businesses operating in good faith.
