The pensions challenge for companies and trusteesStakeholders of many pension schemes continue to be reliant on out-of-date information to shape their pensions strategy, despite real time information now being available to help us in many other parts of our everyday lives.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 managementWith 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 collaborationBy 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 This should mean no more waiting months for analysis, no more missed opportunities because information is out of date, no more looking at only one aspect of your scheme out of context, and no more lengthy reports or unhelpful meetings.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.
