Pension Funds

The first step in managing the challenges that most defined benefit pension funds face today is to understand the risks that the fund is exposed to – both in terms of where they arise and their magnitude.

Without the robust measurement of risk and potential reward, the appraisal of the current fund strategy and any risk management strategy becomes nebulous at best, particularly as the potential investment solutions open to pension funds today are numerous and complex.

The Barrie & Hibbert pension risk model has been designed to measure and monitor the risks inherent in Defined Benefit pension funds and is the first step towards sound pension fund risk management, by helping users:

  • Understand asset-liability mismatch risk.
  • Appraise alternative asset strategies.
  • Monitor total fund risk in relation to liabilities.
