Climate impacts can threaten the feasibility of insurance buy-outs for defined benefit (DB) pension schemes.
Ortec Finance’s ‘Defined Benefit (DB) pension buy-out under climate stress’ whitepaper examines the potential impacts of climate and transition risks on DB pension scheme buy-outs expected to take place in the UK and the Netherlands. The case study assesses the short-term impacts under a disorderly transition to a low-carbon economy using a NGFS climate scenario and an Ortec Finance Climate Scenario.
Download our whitepaper that explores these climate risks by analyzing the sensitivity of a representative UK DB scheme to several climate stress scenarios and showing how alternative investment strategies impact these sensitivities.
This study that utilizes a top-down climate scenario analysis approach has been undertaken with ClimateMAPS - Ortec Finance’s climate scenario analysis solution.
