Why Cashflow Driven Investing (CDI)?
Cashflow negativity, together with decreasing liquidity in credit markets, rising transaction costs and regulatory changes, means schemes face an increasingly difficult challenge in ensuring they can meet all of their pension liabilities efficiently.
Cashflow driven investing is a long-term approach that seeks to help schemes increase their ability to meet both their future cashflow requirements and their funding objectives.
A long-term partnership approach
Built on a strong understanding of the needs of maturing schemes, our CDI framework is designed as an intelligent, cost-effective way to help secure members’ benefits - a flexible and transparent approach, which aims to ensure capital preservation, predictability of cashflows and maximised credit returns.
We recognise that each scheme is unique, and so partner with our clients and their advisers to develop solutions which align to the scheme’s specific position and aims, while retaining the flexibility to adapt to market conditions and future changes in scheme objectives.
