FYI: Defined benefit plan sponsors believe geopolitical tensions will be the biggest threat to their portfolios in 2019, according to a survey by consulting firm NEPC.
NEPC polled 33 corporate and healthcare defined benefit plan sponsors over the past month about their outlook for 2019, said Mike Valchine, principal at NEPC. Forty-three percent of the survey’s respondents said they were most worried about geopolitical risks, as trade tensions between the United States and China continue to simmer and populism rises in emerging and established markets alike.
