Press Release

BCG Pension Risk Consultants Announces First of Its Kind End-to-End Solution for Defined Benefit Pension Plans

Issued by BCG Pension Risk Consultants

Jan. 12, 2021

Firm also adds pension industry veterans as part of its service expansion initiative 

BRAINTREE, MA, January 12, 2021 — BCG Pension Risk Consultants | BCG Penbridge (“BCG”), a leader in defined benefit risk mitigation services, today announced an expansion of its traditional brand as an expert in the field of liability settlements and plan terminations, into a firm that encompasses a broader suite of services designed to provide a customized approach to help plan sponsors reach their desired plan “endgame” in the most efficient way possible.

BCG also announced the addition of pension industry veterans, Dan Atkinson and Pat Kendall, to their team of highly experienced consultants to help drive and deliver this new solution to the defined benefit plan marketplace.  

Atkinson, with over twenty years in the retirement business, joined BCG in the first quarter of 2020 after previous positions held at River and Mercantile, Mercer, and Fidelity.  He holds the FSA (Fellow in the Society of Actuaries) and EA (Enrolled Actuary) designations, and most recently served as Chief Actuary at River and Mercantile.   

Kendall, with over thirty years in the retirement business, joined BCG in the fourth quarter of 2020 after departing MassMutual where he was Head of Defined Benefit Product and Distribution.  In addition to MassMutual, Kendall has also held sales management and leadership roles at Diversified, Transamerica, and OneAmerica.  Kendall holds the FCA (Fellow in the Conference of Consulting Actuaries) and EA designations, and is also a FINRA registered representative. 

In collaboration with a leading liability driven investment (“LDI”) manager, BCG now offers the first of its kind end-to-end solution covering the following services: defined benefit plan cost analysis, pension risk transfer (“PRT”) analysis, asset liability modelling, custom liability benchmark design, bottom-up fixed income portfolio management, funded status tracking, customized buyout price monitoring and comprehensive implementation support for lump sums, annuity placements and plan terminations. 

“Our new LDI-PRT offering brings a seamless, end-to-end solution to the small to mid-size pension marketplace,” said Mike Devlin, Founder and Principal of BCG.  “The solution is designed to break down the inefficiencies in information sharing and decision making that arise when PRT consultants and asset managers are not closely aligned and brings together asset management and liability management through a highly coordinated and unified set of services.” 

Unique to the value proposition of BCG is the fact that the firm is 100% aligned with the goals of the plan sponsor. BCG provides sponsors with independent, unbiased information and analysis, to actively support their plan’s pension de-risking journey.
