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
