Rothesay launches Rothesay Radius, a dedicated offering for smaller scheme transactions
Today, we officially launched Rothesay Radius, our new, bespoke route for pension schemes of £10m-£100m in size, designed around the needs of trustees, members and advisers.
The sub-£100m landscape has evolved rapidly in recent years, with demand from smaller pension schemes for de-risking solutions expanding significantly. Annual deal volumes have increased from £2.8bn in 2021 to £7.2bn in 2025, while the proportion of schemes below £100m in the defined benefit market expanded from 72% to 80% (by number) over the same period, indicating a meaningful shift in scheme distribution.
Rothesay Radius is our tailored solution for smaller scheme transactions that provides trustees and advisers with a direct and efficient route to obtain a guaranteed quote from us without exclusivity requirements.
While we maintain our long-established focus on completing the largest and most complex transactions in the market, Rothesay Radius allows us to offer the same meticulous care, attention to detail and member focus for smaller sized schemes through this new dedicated offering.
