Potential buyers include Legal and General, Prudential and Goldman Sachs. Experts in the pensions sector indicate that as much as £5 billion worth of company pensions could be ready to sell.
Numerous mid-sized schemes could be put on the market and purchased by FTSE 100 companies . Numerous household name companies are thought to be considering buying out pensions funds .
