About us
LGIM America (LGIMA) was founded in 2006 with the purpose of helping people achieve their long-term financial goals. We offer a range of strategies to help our institutional clients (corporations, healthcare agencies, non-profit, educational institutions, public plans and Taft-Hartley multi-employer plans) manage their investment objectives, which can range from market-based alpha-oriented strategies, derivative overlays, equity solutions and those that are designed to be more liability-centric. Encouraging a diverse and inclusive environment coupled with a solutions-focused culture allows us to increase our breadth of knowledge and the likelihood of improved client outcomes and stronger financial performance. We have teams of experienced, innovative professionals committed to helping plan sponsors meet their pension promises, managing investment exposures efficiently to seek enhanced returns while mitigating risks, and working to generate returns while making a positive societal difference. As of June 30, 2024, LGIM America had $214.7 billion in assets under management.

LGIM America's Pension Solutions Monitor, which estimates the health of a typical US corporate defined benefit pension plan, estimates that pension funding ratios increased slightly throughout September 2024. Based on market movements, the average funding ratio is estimated to have increased from 109.9% to 110.0%. Equity markets experienced positive performance over the month with both Global Equities increasing 2.4% and the S&P 500 increasing 2.1%. Plan discount rates were estimated to have decreased 21 basis points over the month driven by the Treasury component falling 17 basis points and the credit component tightening 4 basis points. Plan assets with a traditional “50/50” asset allocation increased 2.3% while liabilities increased 2.3%, resulting in a slight increase to funding ratios by September month-end. https://lnkd.in/gGwxxhd Please view webpage for complete disclosures.
