Our investment strategy

Our investments are based on a safe, efficient, long term and ethically sound investment strategy. The general objective of the strategy is to achieve the highest possible pensions for our scheme members, while having due regard to risk and the Company’s ethical code.

We endeavour always to diversify our investments across many asset classes, as this reduces the likelihood of major losses in times when market trends differ greatly from the expected.

The ethical code stipulates that Lærernes Pension does not invest in companies that base their activities on producing or dealing in arms, infringe human rights or behave irresponsibly towards natural resources. The code is made effective by performing ongoing screening of our investments and selling holdings in those companies that do not meet the criteria.

In order to keep costs low, Lærernes Pension has outsourced the actual portfolio management to external portfolio managers. A large proportion of the investment assets are managed passively, where the aim is to achieve a return that matches the market yield. Use is also made of active management, since for certain asset classes that presents apparent advantages or is the only way of obtaining exposure.

Risk management

Lærernes Pension attaches great importance to risk management, which it has entrusted to a special risk management team.

Lærernes Pension’s greatest risks arise from its pension liabilities and investment strategy. The pension liabilities risk is limited by cautious design of the pension schemes entered into and the use of interest rate hedging. The extent of the investment risk taken depends on the reserves, the expected return and the risks that follow from the pension liabilities. In the event of a serious deterioration in the reserve situation, the Secretariat is able to reduce the Company’s investment risk by hedging and portfolio restructuring. In the extreme case the pension schemes can be adjusted. 

Lærernes Pension has a high degree of solvency which is primarily due to the Company’s large reserves. As a result, Lærernes Pension is in a good position to take investment risks and achieve the highest possible pensions for the scheme members.
