JLT Employee Benefits has named Harry Harper as head of buy in and buyout services in its investment consulting arm.
Harper’s brief is to develop JTL’s offering in this area to improve the service provided to its clients and to win new business.
He joins from Mercer where he led the firm’s bulk annuity business as head of the buyout and de-risking team in Manchester.
He brings experience to JLT of dealing with longevity swaps, winding-up schemes and numerous de-risking deals. A highlight of his almost two decades at Mercer was leading the maiden auction for a pension scheme buyout.
JLT Employee Benefits chief executive Bala Viswanathan said Harper was hired on his knowledge and track record in the de-risking and bulk annuity market.
