    I would think the average deficit vs. a full buyout requirement would be a lot worse than a third. Even a scheme with 100% funding level could be close to 50% short of being able to pass the liabilities to an insurer.

    You could well be right - my information is gleaned form October 2014 Purple Book and it uses March 2014 figures apparently.

    However, I am not sure where they got their so-called March 2014 figures as schemes are mandatorily just triannually valued and I think many are due their revaluations as at 31 March 2015 - it could be a further 15 months before those valuations are agreed and see the light of day.
