    Re-thinking pensions risk management

    Integrated Solutions is a comprehensive investment management service which aims to help trustees achieve their funding objective with greater certainty.

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

    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.

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

    How does Integrated Solutions work?

    Integrated Solutions helps keep the focus on the trustees’ desired funding objective by focusing on two goals:

    1. Pay all liability cashflows up to the target date

    2. Have sufficient capital to achieve the target funding level by that future date (see Figure 1)

    Figure 1: Improving your funding level with certainty1

    1For illustration only.

    Traditionally for DB pension schemes, the objectives set for the individual investment managers are defined independently to these goals. Managers run each of their component portfolios in silos, creating a disconnect between the principal and its agents.

    We believe that managing investment strategy in an integrated manner, with all decisions made in the context of the trustees’ desired funding objective, can help increase the certainty of achieving that goal.
