The 2016 Liability-Driven Investing (LDI) Survey was conducted from late August through October 8, and asked asset owners about their practices and views regarding funding, de-risking, and LDI strategies. Of all responses, 139 were identified as qualifying–i.e., by being from a senior investment official, with the authority and knowledge to answer LDI related questions, at a qualified fund. Results show trends as far back as six years, and are broken out by various fund attributes. A spreadsheet of the full set of unattributed survey responses is available for a fee.
