They are all returns for the really long bond (entirely Barclays twenty addition twelvemonth index).

The electrical flow value of these bears no resemblance to how profitable the seat appears to bring been inwards aggregate or how profitable it would bring been over 12 months.

The 20+ Barclays index returned high teens per centum during the twelvemonth until Oct 2011 - which is consistent alongside the results achieved.

The 2011 results are so generally explained past times a huge derivative seat on the long bond every bit several of the commentators guessed.

Strangely the fund likewise carried involvement charge per unit of measurement swaps (separately disclosed) on which they lost money.

That said, the HP Pension Fund got well-nigh exclusively out of equities inwards 2007 together with well-nigh exclusively into long bonds (via swaps) simply every bit the yields collapsed.

The old was disclosed contemporaneously. The latter was non disclosed.

The effect is impressive: at minimum a really good timed classify of liability driven investing.
