Lessons from 2020: the not-so-simple relationship between LDI and funded status impact
Randy Cusick, Director, Client Portfolio Manager, provides live examples of how plans can have different funded status impacts, even with similar levels of LDI and market conditions.
Randy looks at relevant lessons learned from 2020 to demonstrate how “younger” and “older” plans respond differently, based on their duration. Plan examples with varying interest rate, return, LDI and duration scenarios can assist with your understanding and approach to plan strategy.
