F&C has expanded its offering of liability driven investment (LDI) solutions by launching the F&C Dynamic LDI Funds, two pooled vehicles that aim to provide a highly effective solution for pension funds looking to implement a strategy to hedge risk from liabilities.
The two pooled investment vehicles - F&C Real Dynamic LDI fund and F&C Nominal Dynamic LDI fund– aim to make use of the full spectrum of hedging assets and to switch in a systematic way with a clearly articulated investment process.
The funds are designed to take the best of the liability hedging approach of the largest and more sophisticated schemes and make it accessible to smaller schemes in a pooled fund format.
Richard Watts, Head of Investment Solutions at F&C, said “Our new funds are a major step forward in the LDI marketplace. These funds provide trustees with a low governance product that can benefit from the divergence in performance between different hedging instruments, something that larger schemes have been doing for a number of years.”
