Liability-Driven Investment Strategies: Turning Theory into Reality
Current economic uncertainty has many institutional investors looking for alternative investment strategies for their pension plan assets. One approach, liability-driven investment, is rapidly increasing in popularity. This is largely due to its potential to help reduce the volatility in a pension plan’s financial results.
On June 3, Watson Wyatt hosted a Web conference, “Liability-Driven Investment Strategies: Turning Theory into Reality,” to discuss the realities of implementing a liability-driven investment strategy. Specifically, we addressed the best methods for creating/implementing liability benchmarks, how to handle an excess risk/return profile and the appropriate alpha levels for these types of plans.
