**Better Decisions Begin with You**

At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. As an organisation, we are united through trust as one inclusive, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.

**Wealth Solutions: Retirement**

Right now, UK companies have more invested in pension schemes than the rest of Europe combined. But, has each individual company set aside enough to meet their pensions’ obligations in twenty, thirty or even forty years’ time?

As the market leaders in actuarial consulting, our consultants are here to advise our clients on their defined benefit pension schemes, helping them to handle the associated financial and operational risks, now and in the future. As an Aon graduate, you’ll work alongside the most creative in the industry, earning as you learn and building your career as an Actuary

**Your role as an Actuarial Graduate in Wealth Solutions: Retirement**

As an actuarial graduate, no two days in the office are the same. Our graduates work on a range of client teams with colleagues who provide advice and support to either the trustees handling the pension scheme, or the company that provides it.

Our aim is for you to progress into a trusted advisor for your clients as soon as possible. We’ll help you do this by developing both your technical and consulting skills — including your understanding of key calculations, communication techniques, project management and networking. Throughout your career with Aon, you’ll continually improve your commercial awareness and professionalism — which will help you grow into a successful actuarial consultant.

**What your day could look like**:
**Actuarial and Analytical Tasks, such as**:

- Regular assessment of the financial position of pension schemes
- Identifying and implementing ways for trustees and companies to reduce the risks in relation to their schemes, including longevity risks, investment risks and inflation risk
- Carrying out calculations relating to the pension scheme for the company's financial accounts; and with respect to individual pension scheme members' benefits
- Estimating pension protection fund levies

**Client Focused Tasks, such as**:

- Day-to-day management of the pension scheme and internal projects
- Building and managing relationships with clients and other stakeholders of the scheme
- Attending and presenting at client meetings

You’ll be able to work on a range of projects, gaining early exposure to clients to support your development. You’ll can also be involved in one of our specialist teams, focusing in areas such as:

- Risk Settlement, advising clients on the best way to reduce risk through transferring it to a third party.
- Member Options, helping clients reduce risk and/or cost by offering pension scheme members the choice to reshape their benefits to better suit their individual circumstances.
- Analysis of mortality and other demographic factors to predict future trends within Aon's Demographic HorizonsTM team.
