PDFM sweats it out
Article Abstract:
PDFM is a pension fund manager which moved into value stocks and cash in 1995 due to the bearish stance of Tony Dye, investment head. Stock prices have continued to rise since 1995, and Dye continues to see this as a bubble, and argues that there has been intervention by the US Federal reserve head, Alan Greenspan, to boost stock prices. PDFM's portfolio has suffered from this approach, and some changes have been brought in to boost its performance, though the core principles remain unchanged.

The bin-man cometh
Article Abstract:
United Kingdom local government pension funds will be carrying out asset valuations in 1998. Their assets were previously insufficient to meet liabilities when valuations were carried out in 1995. Public sector schemes do not have to have a minimum solvency level, and a low target was set of 70% in the 1980s, which was later riased to 100%. Early retirement schemes have also put pressure on local government pension funds, as has the abolition of dividend tax credits for pension funds in the summer 1997 Budget.
