Willis Towers Watson’s Towers Watson Secure Income Fund (SIF) fund has reached £1 billion of commitments. The fund, which is available to defined benefit (DB) pension schemes in the United Kingdom, was launched in March 2017 to meet institutional demand for a product offering long-term sustainable income and which could help alleviate liability mismatch. ESG was a key element to the strategy and its recent success, said Willis Towers Watson.
As a result, Willis Towers Watson has launched the Towers Watson Euro Secure Income Fund (ESIF). The fund is designed to help euro-denominated pension funds access secure income assets and is available to investors in Europe and elsewhere. It will allocate its investments across Europe, principally focusing on the Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, France and Spain.
The ESIF marks a continuation of Willis Towers Watson’s commitment to developing strategies designed to provide stable returns during periods of higher volatility. Lik
