Recommended investment knowledge:

Against the backdrop of arguably richly-priced conventional asset/liability matching solutions, such as swaps and bonds, trustees now need to consider more complex asset and derivative solutions that both mitigate the asset/liability mismatch and improve the scheme’s resilience to a wide range of potential economic scenarios.

One such solution is REaLM™ (Returns-Enhancing and Liability-Matching) assets. Apart from providing long-dated explicit inflation-linked cash flows, secured against physical or operating assets or a government/quasi-government covenant, ReaLM™ assets also offer a marked liquidity premium to compensate for their illiquid nature.

Benefits of attending: you should come away with a better understanding of what REaLM™ assets comprise, their key characteristics, their risks and potential returns.
