PensionsFirst, WinTech Partner on Corporate Liability Risk

The tie-up, the partners say, was driven by increased demand from US-based pension funds, which are increasingly seeking asset and liability risk analytics in a format that can be easily used and manipulated. PensionsFirst, which to date has primarily focused on clients in the United Kingdom, sees significant potential in the American market as stateside plans become more sophisticated.

 "The unique combination of ProVal and PFaroe provides the US pension industry with tools that enable decisions to be made more quickly, with greater confidence and awareness of their impact. Such analytics are increasingly valuable to plans, advisors, and consultants as they look to develop de-risking flight plans and initiate dynamic investment strategies," says Benjamin Reid, president of PensionsFirst.
