Actuarial Consulting – Pensions

UK companies presently have over £2 trillion invested in pension schemes, more than the rest of Europe put together. That’s a breathtaking sum, but the question remains whether individual companies have set aside enough to meet their pensions’ obligations 20, 30 or even 40 years down the line. People are living longer than ever before and the recent economic turmoil has demonstrated that those who manage pension schemes cannot always rely on good investment returns to help meet the costs of the benefits promised.

A market leader in actuarial consulting, Aon has been advising companies and trustees on their pension schemes for over sixty years. Our actuarial consultants specialise in advising our clients on those schemes to help them manage the associated financial and operational risks, now and in the future.

Actuarial Consulting – General Insurance

Aon’s Actuarial & Analytics (A&A) team provides tailored consulting solutions to clients across the insurance and banking industries. Our clients include multinational corporations, banks, captive insurers, and insurance and reinsurance companies in the UK, Europe and across the world. The A&A team works with the wider Aon network of brokers, captive managers and enterprise risk management professionals to provide a broad range of products and services to Aon’s diverse client base.

We utilise our broad skill set and market experience to help our clients implement effective risk management approaches to operate efficiently in the increasingly sophisticated and dynamic global market.

Investment Consulting

As the world leader in Investment Consulting, Aon has been advising employers and governments on their pension schemes and other assets for over 60 years. Today, we provide a wide range of clients with expertise that extends from setting their investment strategies and the day-to-day management of their investment portfolios, through to corporate transactions and transfers of assets from one investment manager to another.

Aon advises clients on a number of strategies that have taken advantage of recent financial market conditions, enabling their employees to enjoy retirement.

Although an internship does not guarantee a place on our Graduate Programme, many of our interns go on to a successful career with us and are automatically considered for our Graduate Programme based on their performance, with no further assessment required.
