Derivatives in Pension Funds - Approaches to Managing Risk

For decades, derivatives have served various purposes for long-term institutional investors, such as pension funds. They have been recognised as a substitute for direct investment in underlying assets, hedging, duration control, general portfolio management, etc. However, they are not without risk, and managing these risks is paramount within the context of pension funds. Whether the management is through regulatory efforts, such as the upcoming FSCA’s Conditions for Investment in Derivative Instruments for Pension Funds, through understanding the use and benefits of derivatives and managing these appropriately, or a combination – the argument for understanding risk approaches and the use case for derivatives, holds firm. Join us for our first Cape Town Edu Series as we discuss derivative usage in pension funds and approaches to managing derivative risk, including the FSCA Conduct Standard, which comes into effect in May 2024. Date: Wednesday, 24 April 2024 Time: 08:30 – 12:00 Location: RisCura, 5th floor, Montclare Place cnr Main and, Campground Rd, Claremont
