Bond Yields, Pension Funds and the Art of De-risking

Featuring: Sebastien Betermier, Finance Professor at McGill University and Executive Director, International Centre for Pension Management (ICPM)

Join us for a timely webinar exploring the evolving role of government bonds in institutional portfolios.

Drawing from his recent paper, Anatomy of a Shortfall, Professor Betermier will examine the complex relationship between bond yields, pension fund liabilities, and systemic risk offering valuable perspectives for today’s uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment.

Key discussion topics:

• Hidden risks of pension shortfalls during crises
• Non-linear bond yield sensitivity and its impact on de-risking
• The evolving risk of local and state government bonds in institutional portfolios

This session is designed for fund managers, risk officers, and other financial professionals seeking to better understand the shifting dynamics of public finance and fixed income markets.
