Pension Fund Investment Management

In this era of unprecedented market volatility, complex new debt and equity instruments, sophisticated portfolio trading and hedging strategies and techniques, and relentless pressures to meet aggressive risk/return objectives, pension plan sponsors and fund managers, more than ever before, are in need of up-to-date accurate information and advice on the key aspects of pension fund management and investment.

Some of the topics covered include: setting investment policy - the sponsor's view of risk - internal versus external fund management - selection of money managers - manager fees and transaction costs - the role of fixed-income securities in plan portfolios - the benefits of indexing.
