March 2024: particularly good quarter for equities
The first quarter of 2024 has been particularly good for equities. This applied less to bonds and even less to listed real estate.
Interest risk is the biggest risk on the balance sheet for many institutional organisations. Interest risk management and control are therefore crucial for insurance companies, banks and pension funds.
Our Liability Driven Investments (LDI) solutions help you cost-effectively hedge interest rate risks. In addition to managing your investment portfolio, we can also be your sparring partner in drawing up your interest risk policy and making policy choices. Assessing and weighing investment risks while also keeping an eye on constantly changing regulatory requirements are also all in a day’s work for us.
Derivatives are indispensable in many LDI portfolios to achieve set goals. Collateral management and liquidity risk management are very important in that regard. We do this ourselves for portfolios of greatly varying complexity and risk appetite, but we also fulfil an advisory role, working closely together with various teams (legal, treasury, investments and IT).
Our team has extensive knowledge of how to hedge interest (and inflation) risks, and the corresponding rules and regulations. The LDI team consists of experienced and highly skilled portfolio managers who manage more than € 60 billion in different types of interest rate derivatives.

The investment year 2024 started well for the stock markets, and that certainly also held true for February. But there was less to celebrate for bond investors and investors in listed real estate.
