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.

index-linked government bonds. Exhibit 2 presents three potential asset
allocation choices for the pension fund.
