This week we’re joined by LCP colleague David Wrigley to break down LCP’s strategic portfolio. This covers: our best ideas in investment, how we bring strategies together, how we view asset classes and investment in a time of higher inflation. David covers recent changes to the portfolio, the role of short dated credit, asset backed securities and real assets as well as much more. Listeners will surely take a lot away from this quick tour of a host of LCP strategic investment thinking and ideas with a DB pensions perspective.

What's one thing to take away?

The importance of a truly diversified portfolio, balanced between a variety of risks, and the need to be dynamic & to rebalance

What's the most underappreciated thing about investing?

Being aware of opportunities, having access to the information on how you’re allocated and where opportunities are.

The role of Buy-ins for a DB pension fund – they are so much more than longevity hedges

Any recommendations?
