IRM brought alive: covenant with a difference
Integrated funding and integrated risk management (IRM) are the cornerstones of defined benefit (DB) scheme funding, but it can be challenging for trustees and sponsors to grasp the interaction between all key elements of scheme funding.
Our software, IRM gateway, brings integrated funding and IRM to life by allowing trustees and sponsors to visualise the interaction of the sponsor covenant, investment strategy and scheme funding as part of their IRM process. Using scheme specific data, IRM gateway provides an interactive dashboard which at a high level can present a variety of scenarios and forecasts to assist with your integrated funding decision-making.
Provided as part of our covenant advice offering, our software enables you to:
- understand and manipulate the interactivity between covenant strength and funding and investment strategies
- stress test different funding approaches against real world scenarios
- bring the integrated funding discussion alive in a visual and collaborative way.
