In H1 2019, the BOI Group UK scheme (2nd largest Group scheme) de-risked by reducing the allocation to growth assets, emerging markets and absolute return and increased liability hedging with a transition of c.£117m into an LDI portfolio The Trustees of the New Ireland pension scheme (4th largest Group scheme) have also agreed a significant investment de-risking proposal which is currently being implemented BSPF asset returns of +10.9% and +4.8% p.a. were achieved over 1 year and 3 years respectively to end June 2019 Bank of Ireland 53 53
