MassMutual Invites Retirement Plan Intermediaries and Sponsors to 'Liability-Driven Investing' Webcast on June 29

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- MassMutual's Retirement Services Division will present a live webcast for retirement plan intermediaries and sponsors entitled "Liability-Driven Investing for Small and Mid-Size Plans ($20M - $100M)" on Tuesday, June 29 at 2 p.m. ET. The live one-hour webcast will be moderated by Charles Ruffel, founder and director of PlanSponsor magazine, and presented by Marc Condon, assistant vice president and actuary, and Doug Steele, director, investment management for MassMutual's Retirement Services Division.

The webcast will explore the theory and practice of liability-driven investing (LDI) and why it makes sense right now. Topics will include how to reduce volatility in annual pension funding, how to manage pension assets in the context of liabilities, and how to implement cost-effective strategies for achieving more predictable plan funding levels. A Q&A will be conducted at the close of the session.

"Liability-driven investing has been eagerly embraced by large pension plans and, at MassMutual, we believe LDI can be a viable solution even for smaller retirement plans with $20 million to $100 million in assets," says Bill Silvanic, FSA, senior vice president and chief financial officer for MassMutual's Retirement Services Division. "We are seeing strong interest in LDI and this webcast will give retirement plan intermediaries and sponsors important information to help them determine if LDI should be considered as a solution for their plan needs."
