Interest Rate Risk• Objective: Mitigate interest rate risk
• 1st Step: Determine risk exposure– Duration is a simple metric
• A single number indicating sensitivity to interest rate changes
• Duration gap between assets and liabilities

Retirees Cashflows
Interest Rate Risk– Need liability characteristics– Typically monthly expected CF– Must be updated regularly
• Adjust for actual vs expected
– Case Study: retirees

PV @ 4.50% = 106,63 millions Duration = 8.50
• Duration – rule of thumb– Given a duration of D, a variation of y in yields will change the value by Dy
• Duration = 8.5, y increases by 1% => decrease of 8.5%

PV as function of yield
• Duration metric is not precise– PV is not a linear function
• Convexity– Indicates Duration sensitivity to interest rate changes

Duration @ 4.50% = 8.50Duration @ 5.50% = 7.92
Convexity @ 4.50% = 132.65
– Expected change in PV– with duration only: - 8.50%– With duration and convexity: - 7.83%
– Actual change: - 7.88%
• Assumptions• Liability duration: 8.50• Funded ratio: 100%
• Traditional 60-40% Mix• Equities Duration: 0• DEX Universe Duration: 6.57 (2007-12)• 60%-40% Mix Duration: 2.63
– Impact of a decrease in yield of +50bps• Assets increase by 1.32%• Liabilities increase by 4.25%• Funded ratio decreases to 97.07%

– Impact of a decrease in yield of +50bps• Assets increase by 4.23%• Liabilities increase by 4.25%• Funded ratio almost unchanged! (99.98%)

Taking into account the liability’s CF duration in selecting assets can reduce exposure to interest rate changes.
• Not So Easy!– From Dec. 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009
• TSX Total return: 2.0%• DEX Universe: + 1.5%• DEX Long-term: + 0.3%• Solvency liability: 1.5%• Liability valued with Canada yield curve: 0.3%• CF Matching Liability (AA yield curve): + 4.4%
– From Sep. 30, 2008 to Dec. 31, 2008• TSX Total return: 22.7%• DEX Universe: + 4.5%• DEX Long-term: + 5.2%• Solvency liability: + 3.2%• Liability valued with Canada yield curve: + 8.9%• CF Matching Liability (AA yield curve): 4.8%

Case Study• Solvency Liability
– Based on a single rate:• Canada over 10-years bond + spread
– Doesn’t capture full yield curve dynamic
• Better Approach to Risk Management– Consider the complete yield curve
• Start with the Canada Bond yield curve• Bootstrap to get spot curve…

• From Dec 07 to Sep 08• Large short-term rates decrease dominates => +0.3%
• From Dec 08 to March 09• Long-term rates increase dominates => 0.3%
Case Study• Yield Curve for Liabilities
– Investment Policy: Assets allowed– Based on Target or Benchmark portfolio– Provincial spreads vs Canada
• Ontario spreads increased by 47bps in Q4 2008

Case Study• Credit Spread Risk
– Can be more material than interest rate risk– From Sep ‘08 to Dec ’08
• Canada curve decreased => + 8.9%• Ontario curve decreased by smaller amount => + 4.2%• A-rated Corp. curve increased => 5.5%

Portfolio Management• Not “Active” in traditional sense,• Not “Buy-and-Hold” either!
• Decision-making process– Continuous process– Close collaboration between Team members– Assumption testing– Portfolio Decision– Validation

Portfolio Management• Yield curve analysis and bond pricing
– Internal and External sources– Securities allowed in portfolio: detached coupons, asset-backed securities, asset-backed mortgages, synthetic bonds, corporations (public and private), derivative products, RRB, …
• Buy and Sell decision– Portfolio Rebalancing– Opportunities– Market Events

Portfolio Management• Portfolio Construction Process
– Objective:• Ensure matching of liabilities according to risk metrics defined in investment policy.
– Steps:• Replication of the benchmark portfolio with a portfolio of zero coupons and/or bonds,• Diversification of fixed income securities (issuers, activity sectors, geographic regions,…),• Credit risk limited (e.g., maximum concentration rules by asset item class, sub-class, activity sector, issuer),• Currency risk must be managed if allowed,• Counterparty risk limited by concentration rules,• Portfolio optimization,• Final portfolio construction.

Conclusion• Managing the Financial Risks associated with a Pension Liability Requires:
– A very good understanding of the liability financial characteristics.– Risk tolerance limits which reflect the risk appetite of the Pension Plan.– Tools to measure and assess current risk position.– Portfolio managers which can generate added-value within pension plan risk appetite.
