Haines will spearhead 4most’s activity in a growing market that has experienced record levels of transactions in recent years. With ten insurers now competing for more than 250 UK deals with over £40 billion premiums a year, the mission statement of 4most’s BPA Market Services team is to help individual insurers write one more deal a month.
Haines is a Chartered Actuary (Fellow). Over a 30-year career, he has held prominent Partner and EMEA leadership roles at major global and European pensions and actuarial consulting firms, establishing himself as a trusted adviser to multinationals, pension funds, insurers and regulators.
Haines’ move to 4most follows a 12-year tenure at Aon, where he served as EMEA Chief Commercial Officer for Aon’s Wealth Solutions business unit. He is also co-founder and CEO of Haines Global Pensions.
Industry estimates predict that the UK insurers could take on more than £500 billion of BPA premiums over the next decade. BPA insurers face pressure to grow their teams and transform their businesses to capture market share. Areas of focus include automating processes, managing data better, introducing new technology including machine learning, refining pricing and reserving, optimising matching adjustments, measuring funded reinsurance risks, and carrying out credit portfolio management reviews.
