Billy WeirGUEST
So, um, I mean, the, the legislation's quite long, but at its heart, it's basically saying to trustees, think about your long-term strategy.

Billy WeirGUEST
Um, you know, do you want to be in a position where you expect just to buy out or do you expect to run on the scheme? Um, the closer you get to being mainly pensioners, uh, the more real it will become.

Billy WeirGUEST
Uh, but, and reality is that for most pension schemes, they'll already have done that thinking.

Billy WeirGUEST
You know, because if you're mainly pensioners, you probably, probably already had a conversation around are you gonna buy the liabilities or are you just gonna run them on.

Billy WeirGUEST
Um, and you know, that would be very scheme specific and there's no right or wrong answer.

Billy WeirGUEST
It's just kind of what feels right for the sponsor and the trustee as to how they're gonna manage their responsibility to pay benefits to members.
