Helping members avoid falling prey to investment scams
Scams have been on the rise for many years and increased significantly following the introduction of freedom and choice. Although the changes brought much more flexibility for pension scheme members, the downside is that without sufficient knowledge, it can be easy for them to make poor decisions, such as falling for a scam which can create a permanent dent in their retirement income.
Hedging longevity: the implications for your investment strategy
Many pension schemes have managed their liability risks by hedging interest rate and inflation risks through a liability-driven investment (LDI) approach. As a result, longevity risk has grown in significance for many schemes.
Cashflows, investment return, and risk management: how to juggle your needs without dropping the ball
The impact of COVID-19 means pension scheme funding levels have fallen, covenants have deteriorated, and liquidity requirements have increased. So, schemes need return, risk management and cash more than ever. Some investment strategies force trustees to choose between these competing needs. But meeting cashflow, return and risk objectives needn’t be a juggling act. In fact, combining segregated LDI with CDI is available today, irrespective of client size, simply as a smarter investment solution.
Earlier this year, the Government and the UK Statistics Authority (the UKSA) launched a consultation on proposals to address the ‘shortcomings’ in the Retail Prices Index (RPI). Responses to the consultation can be submitted until 21 August 2020, following an extension in light of COVID-19.
