XPS Catalyst
An efficient end-to-end buyout solution for smaller pension schemes (with assets less than £15m).
Smaller pension schemes often face real challenges when trying to reach buyout. Limited provider attention can lead to delays, poor member service, and slow progress on critical tasks like data cleansing, sometimes making it impossible to even secure insurer quotes.
XPS Catalyst changes that.
An all-in-one solution to ensure best possible outcome for members.
Designed exclusively for schemes under £15 million, XPS Catalyst brings together expertise in insurance, risk settlement, actuarial, investment, and administration to deliver a fast, streamlined route to buyout.
From a standing start, we have moved through data cleanse, quotation phase, buy-in to buyout in less than a year.

Really small pension schemes have been neglected for too long. We are consistently hearing from trustees that their schemes are fully funded and want to buyout, but they aren’t getting the necessary support to do the essential work required to attract the attention of the insurers. XPS Catalyst puts the right people and processes in place to get schemes out to market quickly and get the job done.
