Résilience et préparation financière

Institutional funds readiness asks what a pension fund, endowment or reserve fund would need to see before it could assess a long-horizon investment, such as resilient infrastructure, against its liabilities, liquidity needs and fiduciary duties. Institutional Funds Nexus prepares that evidence and the questions. It never advises a fund, a trustee or a member, and readiness is not an investment case.

02Préparation

La préparation n'est pas une approbation.

A readiness file describes a programme’s evidence, risks and governance so that an institution can carry out its own review. The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) does not approve, rate, underwrite, lend or invest, and it recommends no counterparty.

Resilience and finance readiness: Asset-liability management

EU rules list asset-liability management in pension and insurer risk systèmes, and a Bank of England paper shows LDI hedging, collateral calls and stress.

  1. 01 Liabilities

    1. 01Liabilities and funding needsDataset · Scheme actuaryThe own-risk assessment covers the pension fund’s overall funding needs. It runs at least every three years and after major risk changes.
  2. 02 Strategy

    1. 02Strategic asset allocationModel · Scheme actuaryThe risk-management system covers asset-liability management and investment, notably derivatives, securitisations and similar commitments.
    2. 03Risk limitsDecision · Scheme actuaryThe solvency assessment takes account of approved risk tolerance limits. The governing body sets the limits.
    3. 04Hedging liabilitiesStep · Scheme actuaryPension funds can hedge liabilities with leveraged LDI funds and mandates. A Bank of England paper studies duration, leverage and holdings.
  3. 03 Resilience

    1. 05Liquidity and collateralDataset · Scheme actuaryRising yields forced LDI funds to post collateral or meet margin calls. The risk-management system covers liquidity and risque de concentration.
    2. 06TensionModel · Scheme actuaryLDI funds should be able to withstand severe but plausible stresses in the gilt market, to prevent forced deleveraging and gilt sales.
  4. 04 Governing body

    1. 07Rebalancing within rangesDecision · Scheme actuaryThe governing body decides on rebalancing within ranges it has set. The sources read do not describe a rebalancing procedure.
    2. 08ESG risks and stewardshipStep · Scheme actuaryESG risks of the portfolio and its management are part of the risk-management system. The sources read do not describe engagement or voting.

Outline of an external standard or method, from its public sources. It describes what the framework says, not a record of any run. It does not show that Nexus or any partner performs, certifies or approves a step. A gate is a step of the method, never a Nexus approval. Banks’ ALM is not covered. The Bank of England paper covers leveraged liability-driven investment.

05Own risk assessment

The regulatory hook.

Under IORP II, European occupational pension funds carry out an own-risk assessment that includes, where relevant, climate and environmental risks; national regulators elsewhere set comparable expectations. The OECD core principles frame governance and investment. Topic depth at asset-liability management.

Questions et réponses.

Un dossier de préparation signifie-t-il que des financements sont disponibles ?
Non. Il appuie un examen indépendant par l'institution compétente, qui décide selon ses propres règles.
