Recent Stable Value Pooled Fund Purchase Trends

The Hueler Analytics Pooled Fund Universe, representing 22 funds totaling $70 billion in assets, saw a sharp increase in the dollar value of GIC purchases over the past two quarters. Although the dollar value of new synthetic purchases and additional dollars being deposited into existing synthetic contracts still outweighs GIC purchases, the dollar volume of GIC purchases during second and third quarter 2004 was the highest in the last two year period.
