About Our Sponsors
Norman Ehrentreich, Ehrentreich LDI Consulting & Research
Dr. Norman Ehrentreich is a leading industry expert and thinker on liability driven investment strategies. His research on LDI has led him
to propose the existence of an Asset Return – Funding Cost Paradox for DB pension plans. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this
paradox posits that pension plans in the US with LDI strategies are likely to experience lower funding costs than those that have higher
returning, but more volatile equity strategies.
In 2009 he founded Ehrentreich LDI Consulting & Research in an attempt to foster the adoption of LDI strategies among corporate and
public pension plans. In doing so, his focus is on developing better research on the theory of liability driven investing and to lobby for
structural pension reform to improve the regulatory framework in which pension plans are currently operating in.
