About Pension Risk Transfer

Due to the uncertainty of the costs and risks associated with administering defined benefit plans, a growing number of institutions are looking to transfer all or a portion of their pension risk to remove this long-term liability from their balance sheet and reduce the volatility of the plan’s funded status, while meeting commitments to their former employees.

MassMutual’s pension risk transfer team of professionals has an average tenure of 15 years and more than 40 years of experience helping institutions assess, mitigate, and transfer risk. We deliver a consultative, client-focused approach to transfer pension risks and manage your longevity exposure.
