This investment strategy is governed by our Statement of investment principles (SIP).
How we allocate our assets
Our strategic asset allocations are set by the Board and carefully monitored to make sure they remain fit for purpose.
Our asset allocation is different from the allocations of average defined benefit pension schemes in the UK. This is because we need to be solvent at times when general pension schemes are significantly underfunded. We need a low risk strategy that aims to be relatively uncorrelated to the funding levels of the schemes we protect.
We operate within a tight risk framework, driven by our need to remain solvent at all times.
