position.

In May, pension assets were up 2.58% while liabilities decreased 0.20%, following up a positive asset return in May and April. For the year, assets have outperformed liabilities by 2.28%, according to data supplied by Ryan Labs, the specialist fixed income research and asset management firm that manages bond portfolios tailored to match plans’ liability profiles.
