Defined benefit pensions with Liability Driven Investments

Inquiry

Increases in yields on long-dated gilts in late September and early October 2022 meant defined benefit (DB) schemes using Liability Driven Investment (LDI) strategies needed to deal with the rapid increase in collateral required to support the LDI trades. This led to the Bank of England’s announcement on 28 September 2022 under its Financial Stability remit of the temporary purchase of long-dated gilts until 14 October 2022.

The Work and Pensions Select Committee conducted an inquiry on the lessons to be learned from this experience, focussed on the impact of the volatility in gilt yields on DB schemes with LDI strategies in September 2022 and their regulation and governance.
