    Anglo American Completes Bulk Purchase Annuity Buy-In Deal With Legal and General for Three Schemes

    Anglo American Services (UK) Ltd has completed buy-ins totalling £785m for three pension schemes it sponsors – the Tarmac UK Pension Scheme, the Tarmac ‘B’ Pension Scheme and the Anglo UK Pension Scheme – with Legal and General. 

    The buy-ins were completed as part of a combined transaction, securing the benefits of over 5,100 retirees and 2,500 deferred members. L&G provided a price lock based on the schemes’ assets throughout the transaction process, ensuring pricing certainty while the terms of the transaction were finalised. 

    “Helping these schemes achieve their endgame objectives marks a strong start to another busy year in the pension risk transfer market,” said Andrew Kail, CEO, Institutional Retirement at L&G. 

    “We are committed to providing a secure home for the insured benefits of the schemes’ members and we look forward to supporting them in their retirement. The outlook for this year remains exceptionally positive and with a busy market our pipeline remains as strong as ever across all sizes of transactions,” Kail added. 

    “The buy-ins are the culmination of many years of hard work as we implemented a long-term de-risking strategy, fully supported by Anglo American. We want to thank our fellow trustees, the Group Pensions Manager for Anglo American and our professional advisers, Mercer, Gowling, Aon, Sackers and Capita for their important roles throughout the process in completing the buy-in transactions, which further increase the security of the members’ insured benefits. L&G was selected for a number of qualitative factors, including its long and successful track record in both the bulk and individual annuity business, financial strength and administration capabilities, with a deep-seated commitment to customer care,” added Keith Jackson and Tony Davies, respective Chairmen of the Trustees of the schemes. 

    Mercer acted as lead transaction adviser and advised the schemes’ three trustee boards, with legal advice provided by Gowling WLG and Sackers. Clifford Chance provided legal advice to L&G. 

    “Bringing three schemes of this size to the insurance market in a combined approach required significant planning and co-ordination across Trustees and advisors.  We were pleased with the engagement from the wider market in this competitive process, and securing buy-ins for all three schemes is a great outcome for the membership who have benefited from being part of a combined approach compared to going to market alone,” said Ben Stone, Risk Transfer Partner at Mercer. 

    “We were delighted to support the Trustees on this complex and multifaceted transaction.  Taking three related, but very different, schemes to the market on a combined basis brought significant opportunities to achieve a better outcome for scheme members, and everybody involved in the project rose to the challenge of delivering it,” added Christopher Stiles, Partner at Gowling WLG, 

    L&G says it has completed £1.2bn of UK pension risk transfer transactions in 2025 and is actively pricing on £17bn of new deals.
