Willis Towers Watson publishes on its website:
“Willis Towers Watson today announces that the Towers Watson Secure Income Fund (SIF) has reached £1 billion of commitments. The fund, available to Defined Benefit (DB) pension schemes in the UK, was launched in March 2017 to meet institutional demand for a product offering long-term sustainable income and which could help alleviate liability mismatch.
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.”
