Liability-Driven Investment Funds

These are multi-manager funds aimed to provide investors with the potential to reduce DB pension funded status volatility through exposure to high quality, mostly corporate bonds which closely match those found in discount curves used to value U.S. pension liabilities. They provide a closer credit quality and cash flow match versus liabilities that can be achieved through a single long credit strategy.

Managing a pension program is more challenging than ever. Pension reform, funding issues, accounting reform, manager selection—these all impact your plan and your organization's bottom line. Contributions are likely to rise as new funding thresholds are imposed. Achieving plan goals requires attention to funded status and total plan returns. You must understand the risks and set your investment strategy accordingly. We can help you decide what's right for your plan. We've developed a holistic approach for defined benefit plans. Our investment outsourcing solutions provide you with a truly dynamic approach to managing your pension plan that links your investment strategy to your organization's goals.
