Rosie Fantom FIA CERA

Rosie is an actuary, specialising in pension scheme de-risking, predominately focusing on the bulk annuity market.

Rosie’s first hand insurer experience allows her to provide advice on how to get the best from insurers. In particular, she understands the challenges insurers can face and so is well placed to find practical ways forwards. Having managed large, small, simple and complex transaction executions, her project management skills are exceptional meaning that she can help schemes and sponsors grasp opportunities when they arise and ultimately achieve their objectives.

She has helped a wide variety of schemes and sponsors complete bulk annuity transactions, with over 15 years’ experience in this space. She volunteers with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries in different capacities.
