Liability Driven Investing (LDI) is a risk management term thrown around very loosely in today’s pension plan vernacular. Used effectively, LDI can help pension funds better assess and reach their financial objectives.

The industry has been adopting LDI strategies as traditional "asset-only" investment approaches which still retain significant risk, neglecting to account for a material mismatch of non-fixed income assets and fixed pension liabilities, resulting in the recent pension crises. For example, LDI strategies such as duration pooled funds typically offer false economies and retain significant exposure to non-parallel and large changes in interest rates. Other LDI strategies leverage the effective exposure to equities, and often unknowingly, materially raise the risk profile of a plan.

In this session, our speaker will debunk some of the current LDI myths and provide insights into innovative risk management strategies pension plans should consider.
