Andrew Short looks at how pension funds can get involved in infrastructure investment

Bluefin has launched a proposition aimed a small to medium-sized defined benefit schemes to help trustees eliminate unrewarded risk.

Only 15% of pension schemes have 50% or more inflation-linked assets matching their liabilities, suggesting most are structurally underhedged, research shows.

Trustees of smaller defined benefit schemes are spending too much time debating manager selection and not enough time considering asset allocation, consultants say.

More pension schemes are adopting a dynamic de-risking approach and are seeking investment opportunities in social housing to meet liabilities, Redington says.

Bluefin Corporate Consulting and Redington have joined forces to create an investment consulting offering for small to medium sized pension schemes.
