问题如下：
Sarzi was recently hired as
the investment advisor for the ZTA Corporation pension fund. The current market
value of the pension fund’s assets is USD 10 billion, and the present value of
the fund’s liabilities is USD 8 billion. The fund has been managed using an
asset-only approach, but Sarzi recommends that the risk-averse ZTA board of
directors consider adopting a liability-relative method, specifically the
hedging/return-seeking portfolio approach.
Sarzi assumes that
the returns of the fund’s liabilities are driven by changes in the returns of
index-linked government bonds. Exhibit 2 presents three potential asset
allocation choices for the pension fund.

Pension Fund
B. Determine which
asset allocation would be most appropriate for the pension fund given Sarzi’s
recommendation. Justify your response.

解释：
allocation 2 is appropriate based on the fact the fund's liabilities is USD 8 billion and the fund asset is 10 billion, since allocation 2 has 5%+80%=85% percent in fixed income investment. the hedging portfolio is sufficient with the remaining 15% equities in return seeking portfolio.
