Rising Inflation and the Opportunities and Threats for Dutch Pension Funds
This episode will be held in English.
Topic:
A reversal of the global inflation trend is imminent. Inflation forecasts are rising rapidly, and this is confronting pension providers with major decisions. Inflation affects asset returns worldwide, and local inflation is a key determinant of real pension outcomes. Head of Fixed Income Portfolio Management Gerard Fitzpatrick and investment strategist Jaap Hoek of Russell Investments will provide tips, insights and expectations in a Pension Pro Partner Seminar on 10 May on inflation, every investor's arch enemy.
"Inflation is not just a local issue for domestic assets and liabilities but a global story, affecting the valuation of many assets."
Gerard Fitzpatrick, Chief Investment Officer for fixed income and EMEA at Russell Investments
"The good news is that the New Pension Contract offers more opportunities to respond to inflation than the straitjacket of the current pension regime."
Jaap Hoek, Director Investment Strategy & Solutions, Northern Europe at Russell Investments
The seminar will address the most relevant questions about inflation. Will the Covid-19 approach cause a turnaround in inflation? What is the impact of the rapidly rising inflation expectations in the United States? Will Europe soon follow? How will this affect pension funds' global bond portfolios and how can they respond? Will they have to adjust their tactical asset allocation as well as their strategic one? How will the new pension contract in the Netherlands affect this?
