Radar is a web-based tool offered to all XPS clients to help them gain insights into their scheme and make key decisions in real-time. Radar has helped trustees and employers to identify opportunities to re-design and de-risk investment strategies, to conduct valuation negotiations efficiently and collaboratively, and to receive daily updates about how current market turbulence has impacted their schemes. Radar's recent development of a sophisticated journey planning functionality has been described by trustees as a "game-changer". Its ability to accurately project the expected evolution of a scheme on multiple bases enables trustees to design long-term funding strategies, monitor progress towards them and identify when the scheme might ultimately be able to achieve its long-term goals.
