Over the past few years, we’ve seen material increases in gilt yields. More recently, equity markets have hit record highs while credit spreads have narrowed.

In a 45-minute webinar, which takes place on Monday 16 December at 3pm, we will discuss how all these market changes impact Defined Benefit schemes.

A panel of pension investment specialists will cover:

• Gilt markets – How might future deflation affect hedging strategies?
• Equity markets – Is the market overvalued and excessively concentrated?
• Corporate bonds – How are tight credit spreads affecting schemes in various positions?
• Alternative asset classes – Where do we currently see value?

In discussing these areas, we’ll look at pragmatic steps trustees can take and adjustments to investment strategies that may be needed to comply with the new funding regime.

Speakers will include Andrew Overend, Ross Bennett, and Jennifer Mahtani.

There will be time for Q&A.
