  • reasons for and extent of movement to LDI;
  • how LDI has been applied by plans in their jurisdictions;
  • variations in LDI approaches that continue to develop;
  • the legal and fiduciary considerations of implementing LDI in their countries;
  • country variations in LDI;
  • risks of LDI; and
