Pensions - Articles - AQA outsources investments to Towers Watson

 Ed Francis, EMEA head of Investment at Towers Watson, said: “We are delighted that the Trustees of the AQA Pension Scheme have appointed us in this fiduciary management role. While each pension fund has its unique context, many of them - regardless of size - are acknowledging that delegation provides a very effective way to address governance challenges. It is no coincidence that the level of interest in our delegated services has increased as the investment landscape becomes more complex and volatile.”

 Towers Watson’s Delegated Investment Service provides an integrated approach to managing assets against liabilities for all sizes of pension funds in the context of a journey plan to full funding. The company is one of the world’s largest fiduciary managers and now has delegated responsibility for over US$75 billion of assets worldwide.
