Liability benchmarking for pension plans

The ultimate goal of pension investments is to ensure that a plan’s assets are invested to meet future benefit payments. In this feature report, we explore the value of adopting a liability benchmark—to measure the relative performance of a liability-driven investment approach.

May 2010

RBC Dexia’s feature report, Liability benchmarking for pension plans, written with Dr. Auke Plantinga, Associate Professor of Finance at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, delves into the technical elements and benefits of adopting a customized liability benchmark using a cash flow matching approach. Because it’s more important than ever before to monitor how your pension is performing compared to its unique liability requirements.

The report also features illustrations and examples that clearly articulate the value of this approach.
