Providing a platform for monitoring the plan assets and liabilities on a daily basis.

Coordinating the movement of assets between managers in a seamless manner.
Adjusting the interest rate or credit exposure of the fixed income portfolio to achieve the target liability hedge ratio, and to maintain it over time.
Having the ability to use overlay instruments to increase overall efficiency and flexibility.

Daily monitoring of the fund’s allocation to determine if a funded status trigger has been hit
Filling in exposure gaps that may exist between current LDI managers utilizing Treasury, STRIPS and Investment Grade Credit fixed income
Delivering comprehensive daily and monthly reporting
Providing consultation and advice on issues surrounding the implementation of de-risking plan
