Lifestyle Article - Adolfo Aponte promoted to MD at Lincoln Pensions

 Adolfo has been part of the Lincoln team for over 10 years, originally joining Lincoln International where he served in its corporate finance (M&A) division based in New York, before moving to London in 2009.

 Adolfo has had a key role in developing Lincoln Pensions’ de-risking offering. Today, he leads the firm’s end-game practice, advising pension schemes and sponsors on corporate transactions and funding de-risking structures impacting covenant across a variety of industries.

 In 2019, the team supported on well over £10 billion of pension liabilities transferred to the insurer regime, through buy-ins, buy-outs and longevity swaps, equating to approximately 25% of the market by volume.

 Alex Hutton-Mills, Managing Director of Lincoln Pensions, said: “We are delighted to announce Adolfo’s promotion to Managing Director, and publicly acknowledge his valuable contribution to the growth of Lincoln Pensions and our team’s continued innovation in the covenant space.

 “This is an area in which we anticipate further significant innovation, in response to the rise of commercial consolidators, alternative insurance solutions and DB master trusts. As the regulator encourages trustees to reduce their reliance on the employer covenant, it will become more important than ever to protect both schemes’ and members’ rights.”

 In addition, Lincoln Pensions announces the following client facing promotions: Judith Anunda to Director; Michael Luo to Associate Director; Graham Hepburn, Nillani Jeyapalan and John Renvoize to Associate.
