Welcome to the latest update for LCP's strategic portfolios for UK defined benefit pension schemes.
Inside you will find the latest thinking from our investment strategy team and specialist asset class researchers.
In this edition:
- We introduce working capital finance, an asset class generating returns through the financing of corporate transactions, which offers attractive contractual returns in a world of squeezed credit spreads
- We explore how tighter spreads and market volatility are reshaping the credit landscape - and why this makes a compelling case to invest in more dynamic, actively managed absolute return bond strategies
- We highlight US concentration risk and how portfolios can remain well diversified across regions, with lower US exposure than global indices
