Description: An early retirement exercise can be offered to both deferred and active members of a defined benefit scheme over the age of 55 and these members have a right to commute part of their pension for a tax free cash lump sum. Taking this tax-free cash now accelerates the payment of benefits out of the scheme and reduces the risks, such as investment and longevity risk, and liabilities associated with a defined benefit scheme. This video looks at these exercises and why a large number of early retirements can reduce the risks associated with a defined benefit pension scheme.
