EGBS: ING: Dutch Pension Funds May Demand More Shorter-Dated Hedges
EGBS
ING note that “Dutch pension funds are considering adjusting pension payments to match inflation, potentially leading to near-term demand for fixed receiver swaps, albeit less than usual.”
- They see “a shift in demand from long-dated (30-Year) fixed receiver swaps to shorter-dated (<20-Year) swaps in the period leading up to the pension reforms (most of the Dutch pension funds intend to transition from a defined benefits system to a defined contributions system by early 2026 or early 2027).”
