Case Study: £3.5bn DB OCIO client: bespoke strategy

Since 2016, we’ve acted as the outsourced investment executive for a large DB pension scheme with over £3.6bn in assets. 
Our role included:
  • Bespoke cashflow matching using contractual cashflow assets and illiquidity premium. 
  • Collateral waterfall framework with corporate bond repo and ABS. 
  • Credit Default Swap overlay to maintain return while increasing collateral headroom. 
  • Longevity swap implementation and full liability hedge as funding improved. 
  • This proactive approach helped the client evolve its strategy, improve resilience, and achieve better long-term outcomes.
