Background

Pension funds aim to adjust pension rights to actual inflation on an annual basis, and so need investment products which cover their long term liabilities. The inflation linked products developed by IEF Capital offer an excellent opportunity to do just that.

Bouwfonds Real Estate Investment Management (Bouwfonds REIM) and Inflation Exchange Fund (IEF) founded IEF Capital as a joint venture in 2001. Until then, there was no real opportunity to invest in Dutch inflation linked products. IEF Capital now offers institutional investors a complete range of such products, enabling pension funds to achieve a 100 percent match of their assets and liabilities.
