and
offered a snapshot of why it is so high on the pension funds agenda nowadays. Mr Knapp
also shared insights on where to go for in depth advice on inflation hedging and how to
avoid unnecessary complexity dealing with inflation issues.
Commenting on the impact of inflation on pension schemes, Mr Knapp said: “Inflation in
particular affects those schemes with indexed benefits. So, for example, rising inflation
may raise future benefits and asset returns may not keep up – or even falling inflation
may not cause benefits to fall, but this also usually means lower interest rates and that
can increase liability values.”
