英國債券拋售:養老金首次現金召喚危機反應




英國國債拋售觸發退休金現金要求,成為自2022年危機以來的首次重大考驗

倫敦(路透社) – 隨著借貸成本的上漲,一些英國退休金基金被資產管理公司要求提供更多現金以支持其對沖頭寸,但退休金顧問本週告訴路透社,市場的行為仍然有序。

XPS和Gallagher表示,一些基金已被指示提供更多現金,以維持其通過所謂的負債驅動投資(LDI)策略持有的衍生品頭寸。

作為主要的LDI服務提供商之一,黑石(BlackRock)在週五發給客戶的一份報告中表示,雖然更高的借貸成本會降低退休金計劃的擔保抗壓能力,但這些基金比以往更能應對市場波動。

這些市場變化是自退休金市場進行LDI使用改革以降低風險並滿足對更多擔保和降低槓桿的監管要求以來的首次重大考驗。這些衍生品將需要更多的擔保來彌補價格波動。

LDI策略旨在通過對沖債券收益率變動來幫助基金滿足未來的支付需求,2022年9月,當時首相莉茲·特拉斯(Liz Truss)政府計劃未經資助的減稅措施,導致收益率飆升,從而引發了一場危機。

退休金顧問公司XPS和Gallagher,以及其他六家行業參與者表示,市場對本週債務市場的急劇拋售反應有序。

英格蘭銀行和退休金監管機構週五拒絕發表評論。

週五,30年期英國政府債券(即國債)的收益率達到26年來的新高,因為對通脹預期的擔憂和對唐納德·特朗普即將入主白宮的擔憂促使投資者拋售。

10年期國債收益率上升25個基點,這是過去一年以來的最大周漲幅,但遠低於2022年接近70個基點的周漲幅。

黑石在解釋此次拋售的報告中表示,與往年相比,退休金計劃的起點已經不同。

不過,該公司補充說,持續監控其擔保仍然“至關重要”。

特拉斯政府的“小預算”後,收益率的飆升觸發了對基金對沖頭寸的擔保要求,迫使運營商緊急拋售資產以籌集現金。

“如果收益率大幅上升,則可能會再次進行壓力測試。但我們確信行業已經處於更好的狀態,”Gallagher Benefit Services UK的首席投資官卡爾·希奇曼(Carl Hitchman)表示。

一位客戶已收到一個現金要求,截止日期在下週,但該基金有流動性來滿足要求。

XPS表示,已經看到一些資本要求,但首席投資官西門·威利斯(Simeon Willis)表示這是市場正常運作的表現。

顧問們指出,這次英國借貸成本的逐步上升使得情況變得可控,Insight Investment、Legal & General和Schroders均表示,LDI市場表現出韌性和有序性。

BT退休金基金管理公司Brightwell的一位發言人表示:“退休金基金已做好準備,有效地管理波動性。”

這一事件突顯出英國退休金市場在面對潛在風險時的應變能力,尤其是在經歷了2022年的危機後,市場參與者已經吸取了教訓。隨著借貸成本的上升,儘管市場仍然穩定,但未來的挑戰依然存在,尤其是如何在不穩定的經濟環境中保持資金流動性和應對風險。這不僅是對退休金基金的考驗,也是對整個金融體系的挑戰,市場參與者需持續關注利率走勢及其對資本結構的影響。

[Subject]: Young Asian female with "Imada Mio-inspired" doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large round expressive eyes, a small V-line face, and rosy cheeks. Her expression is innocent, energetic, and slightly flirty. [Hair]: Messy morning hair (剛睡醒的凌亂感), long dark brown hair, slightly tousled, natural volume. [Outfit]: Wearing an oversized translucent white button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫), unbuttoned at the top to reveal collarbones, creating a "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格). [Style]: Japanese Gravure Photobook style (寫真集風格), Pure & Sexy vibe, bright high-key lighting, soft skin texture, Fujifilm PRO 400H color tone. A low-angle, wide-lens street shot in a bustling cityscape (similar to Shibuya, Tokyo). A young woman crouches confidently beside a modified, glossy purple sports car with a Japanese license plate. She wears a black graphic tee, cargo pants, white sneakers, and silver jewelry. The background features tall glass skyscrapers, colorful billboards, neon signage, and warm late-afternoon lighting. Strong perspective distortion emphasizes the height of the buildings and the car’s aggressive stance. The mood is stylish, bold, and modern, capturing urban automotive culture with a cinematic, hyper-real aesthetic. High detail, high contrast, crisp reflections, editorial fashion vibe, dynamic street energy. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, high-resolution portrait of a young woman with long, flowing wavy brunette hair, seated gracefully on a simple black wooden chair in a dimly lit studio. She wears an oversized, off-white knitted sweater that drapes loosely over her frame, slipping off one shoulder to reveal smooth skin and add a subtle touch of sensuality. Her pose is elegant and contemplative: one arm rests gently on the chair’s backrest while her hand delicately supports her chin, and her gaze is directed thoughtfully toward the side, creating an intimate and introspective mood. The lighting is expertly crafted with a single soft, directional light source positioned to the side, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her form and highlight the texture of the knitwear and the natural contours of her legs and arms. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the depth and dimensionality of the image, emphasizing the softness of her skin and the intricate weave of the sweater. The background is a smooth, muted dark gray, providing a minimalist and distraction-free backdrop that contrasts beautifully with her light-colored apparel and warm skin tones. *** The composition is a full-body vertical frame that captures the model’s seated posture with perfect balance, positioning her slightly off-center to create visual interest and harmony. The overall color palette is subdued and warm, featuring neutral tones that evoke a sense of calm and understated elegance. The image is impeccably sharp, showcasing fine details such as the delicate waves of her hair, the subtle folds in the fabric, and the natural texture of her skin. The style is classic and timeless, blending modern minimalism with emotive portraiture to convey quiet strength, beauty, and introspection.
