As pension schemes mature and the focus on the end outcome increases, an integrated risk-management solution could help them reach their funding objectives with increased investment efficiency, improved governance and greater resilience.

Three steps towards the outcome

To increase the certainty of achieving a pension scheme’s endgame target, we believe trustees should focus on where they want to be and allow for risks to be managed, and monitored, in a more integrated manner.

Evolving the investment objective Read more Read less

Shifting the focus to asset roles Read more Read less

Tracking progress towards the outcome Read more Read less

Rather than focusing on where your scheme is today, focus on understanding what is needed to pay all liability cashflows up to your target endgame date, and ensure sufficient capital to be fully funded at that future date.

Having clarified the investment objective, we believe schemes can benefit from a holistic approach that focused not on asset allocations but on the roles assets can play: hedging liability risks, paying liabilities, and growing with certainty.

Focusing reporting on the future outcome shows whether current assets would be sufficient to reach their desired long-term objective by the target timeframe, and the size of any buffer to absorb negative shocks.

Key benefits of Integrated Solutions

Increased investment efficiency

Value is added by enabling certain assets to play multiple roles and by Insight managing risk-return-resilience trade-offs dynamically.

Improved governance

More effective decision-making and implementation is enabled through clear delegation within set parameters. This allows trustees and their advisers to focus on the more important issues.

Greater resilience

By approaching risk management holistically and responding rapidly to unexpected shocks, we believe an integrated approach can maximise resilience to future uncertainty.
