Forecasts from Legal & General predict assets worth up to £10bn could be transferred this year, beginning with a £1bn deal within the year.

He said bigger deals were coming to the market and the first £1bn deal could happen this year, as more than half a dozen schemes were at present looking at their options.
‘Finance directors are looking at buyout options as regulation, longevity, accounting rules and investment volatility have pushed pension costs and risks up their agenda,’ Gadd said.
