With a volatile start to 2016, the focus on de-risking of investment holdings was once again pushed to the forefront after a year of general equity and bond market upswings. As corporate pension plan sponsors seek a move towards buyout stage and others look to outsource the role of asset liability management altogether, the investment de-risking sector is set to evolve to meet both new and emerging challenges and needs.

The fifth annual De-Risking Investment Strategies, Europe report brings together pension scheme managers, insurance funds, pension trustees, finance directors and third party solution providers to assess the growing range of de-risking solutions available to plans. Solutions covered include liability driven investing and dynamic de-risking to implemented consulting, fiduciary management and use of alternatives to close funding deficits.
