Description:

Together with Aviva Life and Annuity Company, we created the Aviva GMS as a bundled stable value solution. It is a low-risk strategy designed to produce current income, while providing book value withdrawals for retirement plan participants. This solution consists of two components: a Book Value Wrap (BVW) contract and a diversified portfolio of high-quality, intermediate term bonds such as Treasuries, investment grade corporate bonds and agency mortgage-backed securities. The BVW provides a guarantee on qualifying withdrawals and transfers at book value while maintaining yield and principal stability. The asset management is provided by an experienced team with a proven track record of risk-adjusted returns.

Objective

The Aviva GMS objective is to offer wrap contracts to guarantee book value while we act as a trusted fixed income advisor to provide consistent positive returns for our institutional clients. Our aim is to:

  • produce stable current income
  • focus on liquidity
  • reduce mark-to-market risk
  • provide principal preservation
  • guarantee book value on qualified withdrawals and transfers
