Does D&B take account of parental guarantees in its Failure Score? Does the Pension Protection Fund take them into account in the risk-based levy calculation?
D&B do not take parental guarantees into account in the Failure Score, whether those guarantees are provided to the subsidiary employer or to the pension scheme. However, information on parent companies is included in the demographic information collected by D&B within the Failure Score calculation. Having a parent company may have a positive effect on a subsidiary. Conversely, having a parent company at significant risk may indirectly increase the subsidiary’s risk.
