Aviva Investors Pensions Summit 2011
Squaring up to the risk triangle
As a pensions professional, you’re continually faced with reconciling the risk triangle; dealing with those risks that reside within the liabilities, covenant strength and the appropriateness of the scheme’s asset allocation.
At the Aviva Investors Pensions Summit 2011 our speakers will:
- Assess the risks that pension schemes face on both the asset and liability sides of the balance sheet and how best to address these.
- Explore the options for removing risk from pension scheme and company balance sheets.
- Demonstrate how the changing economic and investment landscape will impact the asset allocation decision.
- Show how some of the less obvious asset classes offer efficient routes to managing risk and return.
Attendance is by invitation only, to express your interest in attending this event please email Sarah Tyler, stating the pension scheme you work with your position with that scheme.
