How is P-Solve creative for Trustees?
We have worked extensively with pension fund Trustees throughout our history, and understand the challenges Trustees face. In some cases, Trustees just need to understand what their options are, whether this is for different types of investments, or ways to govern the pension plan. But other groups need more.
Sometimes, the key issue is establishing what the plan is trying to achieve with its investments. This is key to solving the right problem. In other cases, the need to is develop, implement and govern an investment strategy that has the best chance of meeting the plan’s needs. This may involve complexity, depending on the need, and therefore needs to be properly supported by training. This ensures the trustees appreciate properly what they are engaging with.
Whatever the issue, we are in a position to help. Our consultants in P-Solve Asset Solutions can work with you to develop your needs into a clearly articulated set of objectives. These needs are used to develop an investment strategy, through a process that aims to make progress as quickly as possible. For more information, click here.
In a wide range of cases, our clients make use of derivatives, generally to manage risks. Trustees have a unique task – to manage a pool of assets against a moving liability benchmark. As a result they face two key risks, asset and liability risk. If this is appropriate for you, then specialist skills are needed and our Risk Management Solutions (RMS) team can help shape your exposure to these risks through Shaped Equity solutions or Liability Driven Investment solutions. These solutions may seem new for Trustees and as such the P-Solve RMS team is set up to help Trustees through the entire process from basic education and advice through to implementation and management of these solutions. The breadth of skills and experience within the P-Solve RMS teams means that we are one of the very few teams in the industry with a proven track record of providing such a full service. Our people bring specialist expertise, from derivatives trading backgrounds, to advise you on how to implement these strategies safely and effectively. For more information, click here.
