The pensions challenge for companies and trustees
Stakeholders of many pension schemes continue to be
reliant on out-of-date information to shape their pensions
strategy, despite real time information now being available
to help us in many other parts of our everyday lives.
KPMG believes that having access to real-time
information and being able to model solutions together
enables companies and trustees to make more informed,
quicker and better strategic decisions about their
pension schemes.
A new approach to pension risk management
With this in mind, we have developed KPMG Fusion® –
a new way to better support pension risk management
decisions with real-time information and insight. In
addition, Fusion can efficiently generate your pensions
accounting disclosures under IFRS, UK or US GAAP.
Fusion is an online tool built around fuelling insight,
powering conversations and igniting action for your
defined benefit pension scheme. It has been designed to
let you dynamically model options for managing cost
and risk – and see immediately what you can achieve.
Fusion’s visual interface has been designed to be intuitive
and easy-to-use, enabling you to monitor the current
status of your pension scheme on measures such as
funding and accounting, understand its past performance
and explore solutions interactively to help shape your
pensions strategy. By being able to identify potential
opportunities as they arise, you can then act quickly and
decisively to take advantage of these.
Gain clarity and enhance stakeholder collaboration
By providing a common platform and basis for discussion,
Fusion helps encourage collaborative working between
companies and trustees, allowing you to solve pensions
issues together. This should mean no more waiting
months for analysis, no more missed opportunities
because information is out of date, no more looking at
only one aspect of your scheme out of context, and no
more lengthy reports or unhelpful meetings.
Designed to let you see the whole picture, Fusion can
facilitate more productive discussions, helping you
make informed decisions to act on, and enable you to
develop a more holistic and coordinated strategy for
your pension scheme.
More power for your risk management strategy
For example, if you wanted to reduce your investment
risk as you’re ahead of your funding schedule, Fusion can
help you immediately understand if and how the actuarial
assumptions may need to change and what impact this
has on the scheme. Alongside this, you may be interested
in insurance solutions or member option exercises.
Fusion lets you look at all these things and so much
more, instantly.
Fusion has been designed to provide better insights to
stakeholders of pension schemes, act as a visualisation
tool for better understanding and governance,
and enable you to consider what solutions may be
appropriate. You can then utilise the wider experience
and expertise of KPMG’s team of over 400 pensions
specialists to help implement these solutions.
