Forthcoming special issue on Asset Liability Management/Liability Driven Investment for Pension Funds
Publication November 2009

In recent years the pension fund industry has adopted tailor-made asset and liability management strategies, also called Liability Driven Investment. The focus of the special issue is on quantitative methods for Asset Liability Management (ALM)/ Liability Driven Investment (LDI) for Pension Funds.
The aim of LDI strategies is to match and outperform a pension fund’s liability stream and at the same time taking into account country-specific regulations. The decision models as well as simulation/evaluation models which take into consideration stochastic asset price dynamics and stochastic behaviour of the liabilities are covered. Inflation risk, interest-rate risk, contribution risk of the pension plan’s sponsor and no doubt the longevity risk of its members, are examples of additional risks some or all of which are measured and managed by these models.
