A Diversified Approach
​
Diversification is an important investment tool for managing risk. A mix of assets helps SWM secure the Financial Plan Pension Target for every member.
To protect the sustainability of your pension, the plan’s investments are broadly diversified. That means the plan is invested in a range of industry sectors, geographic regions and asset classes.
Asset classes are categories of investments, including:
-
Fixed income (investments that pay investors regular interest or dividends)
-
Mortgages
-
Public and private equity (company shares sold to the public or to private investors, respectively)
-
Real estate
-
Infrastructure (systems and structures that provide communities with resources like water, energy or transportation)
