About Us

Horizon Actuarial Services, LLC is a leading consulting firm specializing in providing innovative actuarial solutions to the nation’s multiemployer benefit plans. We proudly serve over 60 plans from various industries, including construction, trucking, hospitality, entertainment, retail food, and communication.

Horizon Actuarial Services, LLC was created in October of 2007, when Watson Wyatt Worldwide, a leading multinational consulting firm, announced that it was exiting the multiemployer and Taft-Hartley plan consulting business.  After providing consulting services to multiemployer plans for nearly 60 years, Watson Wyatt decided to focus on its corporate clients, thus spinning off its multiemployer business to a new company - Horizon Actuarial Services, LLC.

For a select group of actuaries and consultants at Watson Wyatt, this event provided an exciting opportunity to create a new company dedicated to the service of multiemployer and Taft-Hartley plans.  Horizon Actuarial officially began serving clients on February 1, 2008.

While our firm is relatively new, our associates have decades of experience working with each other and providing superior actuarial and consulting services to multiemployer benefit plans - first as the Wyatt Company, then as Watson Wyatt, and now as Horizon Actuarial Services, LLC.

Over the years, we have gained tremendous experience helping our clients to address an extensive range of issues, from pension plan implementation, to health and welfare fund reserve analysis, and everything in between.  We provide a wide array of services related to defined benefit pension plans, including annual actuarial valuations, PPA compliance, plan design, asset-liability modeling, actuarial reviews, and merger and spin-off studies.

Also as a result of our years of experience comes an understanding of the unique dynamics of multiemployer plans.  We have always viewed our role as consultants whose responsibility it is to protect the interests of the plan participants by keeping all trustees, both labor and management, well informed and well equipped to navigate the challenges facing their plans

Horizon Actuarial Services is an independent company operating as a limited liability corporation incorporated in the state of Delaware.  It is owned and operated by its principals.  Horizon Actuarial is not affiliated with any bank, brokerage, investment firm, or insurance company.  Providing unbiased advice that plan sponsors can trust is a central commitment of the firm.
