1. What Is the LDI Market?
The LDI Market comprises the practical implementation vehicles, such as segregated mandates or pooled funds, through which pension funds execute a liability-driven investment strategy. A pension scheme either hires a manager to run a bespoke, segregated portfolio matched to its liabilities, or pools assets with other schemes in a similar fund. The market includes segregated LDI mandates and pooled LDI funds, offered in unlevered or levered configurations. It covers defined-benefit pension-fund applications. Pension funds and LDI-specialist asset managers are primary buyers and providers. The scope excludes the broader liability-driven investment market covering the underlying strategy rather than its specific segregated or pooled-fund implementation vehicles.

4. Key Market Opportunity
A key opportunity in the LDI Market is pooled fund LDI access adoption extending liability-matching capability to smaller pension schemes, addressing the scale threshold bespoke segregated mandates traditionally require. Bespoke segregated LDI mandates traditionally require substantial scheme scale to justify dedicated mandate structuring, an implementation threshold that excludes smaller pension schemes from accessing liability-matching capability larger schemes routinely implement. Pooled fund LDI development from Legal and General Investment Management and BlackRock is offering shared pooled fund structures extending liability-matching access to schemes below the scale bespoke segregated mandates require. Smaller pension schemes adopting pooled fund LDI access will implement liability-matching capability bespoke segregated mandates' scale threshold previously excluded them from, and access hedging sophistication only larger schemes could previously justify implementing.
