Hosted by the CFA Society of Chicago and the Chicago Board of Trade

Liability Driven Investing (LDI) is gaining popularity as funding deficits and accounting reform are forcing US pension plan sponsors to re-evaluate traditional asset management. LDI provides a new framework for identifying and managing the mismatch between the interest rate sensitivity of plan assets and plan liabilities.

Please join us as a panel of industry experts examines the flaws of traditional asset management and the shift toward LDI.
