IAS19 Pension deficit of €0.14bn at Dec 2019 (€0.23bn Dec 2018).
Schemes in deficit €0.27bn, schemes in surplus €0.13bn
The net negative impact of changes in long term assumptions was
substantially offset by the return on scheme assets
The interest rate and inflation rate hedging strategies in the investment
portfolios have largely offset the impact of the significant reductions in
discount rates in 2019
• De-risking strategies have also reduced the schemes' sensitivity to
global equity movements. Listed equity asset holdings have been
reduced in favour of increases in Diversified assets and Credit / LDI /
Hedging allocations
•
In 2019, the Group continued to support Trustees in further asset
diversification and increasing the level of hedging
BSPF asset returns of +17.3% and +5.9% were achieved over 1 year
and 3 years respectively to end December 2019
