Welcome to our half-yearly update, summarising the activity in the buy-in, buyout and longevity hedging markets during the first half of 2024, and the year to 30 June 2024 (‘the last year’).

Building on the £49.1bn record set in 2023, 2024 has been a fascinating year for the risk transfer market. The insurers have demonstrated that they can handle record buy-in transaction numbers, and the vast majority of transactions are now ‘whole-scheme buy-ins’, many of which will subsequently be looking to move to buy-out. During the first half of 2024, our risk transfer team led the advice on two-fifths of all buy-in and buy-outs by value.

In this publication, our Risk Transfer experts: 

• Discuss buy-out and buy-in deals during the first half of 2024
• Compare buy-ins against buy-outs
• Explore buy-ins and buy-outs market share (by value) during the year to 30 June 2024
• Discuss buy-ins and buy-outs in the remainder of 2024
