Insights

In an increasingly complex world where resource is often limited, pension scheme trustees and sponsors need to focus on what matters most: securing members’ benefits through a clearly defined funding plan.

Fiduciary Management is a governance solution through which Trustees delegate the day-to-day implementation of their investment strategy. By delegating the details of the investment strategy, Trustees gain the benefits of an expert whose sole occupation is to concentrate on investment. By having clearly defined roles and responsibilities, trustees can ensure that they remain in control of the key decisions that affect the future of their pension scheme.

The pension equation

Defined benefit pension schemes can be explained using a simple equation:

Pensions = Contributions + Investment return

With many schemes relying primarily on investment returns, rather than contributions, to plug the gap to their liabilities, the challenge facing them is fundamentally an investment one. As investment specialists, Schroders are expertly placed to support trustees in meeting their long-term goals

The three pillars of success

Pension scheme investing can seem complicated. It doesn’t need to be.

We believe that there are three key elements for success:

Planning

Plan ahead with a well-defined
long-term funding objective

Matching

Tailored management of interest rate and inflation risks

Growing

Growth portfolio returns to close the funding gap

Schroders Fiduciary Management provides a straightforward, transparent and cost-effective plan to take trustees through to full funding. By having the fiduciary manager, the oversight of the growth portfolio and the management of the liability portfolio all under one roof, we provide our clients with a unique and flexible investment platform from which to tackle the funding challenges they face.
