Sensenig Capital was recently featured in an article published on the website www.onwallstreet.com written by Bruce W. Fraser. The article asks the question of whether liability driven investing, which is traditionally used in pension plan management, can work for individual clients. Our firm would like to thank Mr. Bruce Fraser for the opportunity to lend our expertise to his article. Below is a excerpt:
“Pensions and endowments have used liability-driven investing (LDI) for years, but is it feasible as a retirement income strategy for individuals?
At the institutional level the strategy is based on investing assets to match the present value fluctuations of future liabilities. This differs from benchmark-driven strategies which strive to achieve returns that match or beat an external index like the S&P 500.
According to Jeremy Brenn, vice president at Sensenig Capital, an RIA in Fairview Village, Pa., this type of strategy may be more suitable at the individual level with a total return approach, which would be based on price appreciation, plus dividend and bond investment income. Rather than advisors thinking solely about how much income their clients’ assets may generate, Brenn suggests they think about those assets appreciating over time as well.”
