This document provides an overview of Redington, an investment consulting firm, and its manager research process. Redington divides investments into seven steps according to liquidity and risk, and evaluates managers according to four filters: expected returns, risk assessment, relative value, and implementation challenges. The manager research team uses eVestment to monitor over 40,000 strategies and conducts regular searches across asset classes including LDI, equities, credit, and alternative investments like secured leases. Redington aims to help pension clients achieve full funding through its seven-step framework and ongoing manager due diligence.
Project finance is the financing of long-term infrastructure, industrial projects and public services based upon a non-recourse or limited recourse financial structure, in which project debt and equity used to finance the project are paid back from the cash flow generated by the project. Project financing is a loan structure that relies primarily on the project's cash flow for repayment, with the project's assets, rights and interests held as secondary security or collateral. Project finance is especially attractive to the private sector because companies can fund major projects off balance sheet.

This is the presentation deck from Real Estate Investing 101: Private Equity, PeerRealty's second in a series of on-demand educational videos. In this series, PeerRealty Head of Investments Jeff Rothbart takes viewers through the fundamentals of real estate investing, and discusses some of the key metrics that real estate investors should consider.

MFA's new educational presentation explains the fees associated with hedge funds and how they are used by hedge fund managers. Generally, hedge fund structures incur management fees and performance fees. Other terms explored in the presentation include high-water marks and hurdle rates. Of course, all hedge fund fees charged to any particular investor are based on contractual terms agreed to by the fund manager and the investor. While there is no such thing as a “standard” fee, there are a number of general terms that apply to hedge fund fees.
For decades, hedge fund managers have supplied investors and regulators with information measuring Assets Under Management (AUM) painting a clear picture of net investor capital at risk. RAUM is a new and separate measurement developed by the SEC. It is not intended to replace AUM and does not illustrate net investor capital at risk. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) does not use RAUM, rather, it relies upon the traditional calculation which is consistent with U.S. GAAP. RAUM will represent a manager’s gross assets under management, rather than net assets under management, and it will be available through managers’ public filings on Form ADV beginning in March 2012.

Join Oliver and Amelia as Grandpa teaches them the importance of saving. They hear the story of how the bears saved the monkeys. They learned about the consequences of wasting bananas, sharing berries and saving acorns. The best part is the acorns they save can grow over time into trees with more acorns.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.

• Setting up an LDI hub which gives the Scheme
the ability to manage inflation and interest rate
risk efficiently and effectively.
• Appointment of XXX as LDI manager
Recommendations
1. Synthetic Equity Replication
• Consider replicating physical equity exposure with futures and use the proceeds to purchase Gilts
2. Target Hedge Ratio
• Consider increasing/decreasing the nominal and inflation hedge ratios to equal the funding ratio:
• Use full LDI toolkit including swaptions to increase nominal hedge ratio.

Liquid Alpha & Beta Strategies
17
Step 3. Description Implementation-to-date
• To ensure that the scheme is receiving
adequate compensation for the risk
associated with its investments
• Instead of dividing assets into traditional
categories of growth and matching assets,
assets are assessed in terms of their liquidity.
• This includes allocations to liquid active and
passive strategies such as investment in
equities and certain hedge fund strategies:
• 10% to Liquid Alpha Strategies
• 15% to Liquid Beta Strategies
• Total exposure: 25%
Recommendations
1. Volatility-Controlled Equity Exposure
2. Risk Parity Strategies
3. CTA Allocation
18. Private & Confidential Redington : Manager Forum 12 February 2013
Liquid & Semi-Liquid Credit Strategies
18
Step 4. Description Implementation-to-date
• Credit consists of a range of sub-classes with
different risk-return characteristics.
• Includes Alpha oriented mandates where the
manager can operate in the entire fixed
income universe. This enables the manager to
take advantage of relative value between
different instruments, aiming to earn long run
risk premia throughout the credit and economic
cycle.
• 15% to Liquid Credit
• 3% to Semi-Liquid Credit Strategies
• Total exposure 18%
No Recommendations – current spreads for investment grade credit are not sufficiently attractive
Considerations:
• When credit spreads are wider (i.e. above the Required Returns), the 7 Steps to Full Funding TM
framework and
the PRMF will allow you to dynamically shift into credit from other asset classes.
19. Private & Confidential Redington : Manager Forum 12 February 2013
Illiquid Credit Strategies
19
Step 5. Description Implementation-to-date
• We believe there are a number of opportunities
available which can provide “long-dated,
inflation-linked” cash flows at a higher yield
than traditional matching assets (we call them
“Flight Plan Consistent Assets”).
• Typically, these assets tend to fit well with the
overall objectives of pension schemes when
assessed in the context of a scheme’s PRMF
• Total 0%
Recommendations
Make allocations to the below to increase credit diversification and Expected Returns.
• SME Lending
• Secondary UK PFI and core-infrastructure refinancing
• Social housing
• Secured Leases
• Ground rents

Illiquid Alpha & Beta Strategies
20
fdStep 6. Description Implementation-to-date
• Assets under this category provide attractive
returns but are typically more complex and
illiquid e.g. private equity and PFI equity.
• 7% Private Equity
• 3% Property (EU and UK)
• Total 10%
Recommendations
Insurance-Linked Strategies (catastrophe risk)
• Make allocation to increase diversification and expected returns

• Annual formal review
• Constant contact in respect of specific queries:
• Impact based approach:

• Assets under this category provide
attractive returns but are typically more
complex, e.g. private equity, PFI equity.
• Inclusion of these assets depends on the
overall objectives and governance budget
of the scheme.
Exceedance Curve (Illustrative)
• Catastrophe risk offers chance to earn
uncorrelated returns with major asset
classes.
• Sample scheme – ca. £50m allocation
(of c. £3bn overall assets) increased
expected returns while decreasing overall
risk.
