We have conducted an opinion study among investment decision makers at institutional investors with AUM of EUR142bn.

Amongst the major issues to deal in 2016 (as mentioned by the institutional investors):
   - Whether or not to reduce the interest rate hedges
   - Active versus passive debate
   - Increasing exposure to Alternatives (Infrastructure, Private Equity)
   - Further reducing hedge fund exposure
   - Long term overall funding of the plan
   - ESG - Climate change
   - The continuing DB/DC conversion
   - Legislative attacks
