Liability-Driven Investing
Parametric’s Liability-Driven Investing (LDI) strategies are designed to help pension plans manage assets in concert with their liabilities. LDI is an exercise in investing assets to fund future liabilities while balancing the resulting risk exposures on a total plan basis.
Parametric LDI focuses on the total portfolio, enabling plan sponsors to better observe the total risk profile of assets versus liabilities and to create a more efficient liability hedge.
Parametric LDI is a suite of comprehensive, systematic, risk-managed solutions for all stages of the LDI process. Recognizing that each investor’s LDI journey is unique, Parametric offers a broad range of solutions that can be customized to support the goal of funding future liabilities while balancing risk exposures on a total plan basis.
Investing involves risk. There is no guarantee that the strategy will be successful. All investments are subject to loss.

Why choose Parametric?
How it works
Parametric LDI is tailored to meet the individual plan’s needs. Through our pension and analysis program, we analyze plan liabilities and assets to understand key pension risks. We thoughtfully assess liability cash flows, yield curve suitability, and liability characteristics to design an effective hedging program that can incorporate cash, bonds, a completion overlay, and glide path management.
Parametric offers many options that help meet the evolving needs of a sponsor’s LDI strategy.
