Current Investment Trends
Changes to investment fund risk and volatility management
 
There has been a strong move in the pensions market towards pension schemes providing fund options for members which focus on controlling investment risk and performance volatility as opposed to focusing solely on investment return. The return objective remains to provide returns over and above inflation over time while also reducing the volatility experienced by members on their journey to retirement.
