ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT decreased by $13.3 billion to $868 billion. This was driven by slight decreases across all segments except general account products. Stable value
US inflation surged to a 40 year high in 2022 and the Federal Reserve responded by aggressively raising its policy rate more than 400bps over the year. This caused market to contract value ratios to decline across all stable value products, but investors should be rewarded with greater investment opportunities and higher crediting rates from stable value throughout 2023.
Stable value is a core investment option in defined contribution plans. In fact, it has been a part of defined contribution plans for over 40 years. As of December 31, 2023, $882 billion was invested in stable value, which accounted for 10% of all defined contribution assets. Participants of all ages rely on stable value to help achieve their retirement goals.
Many have theorized about how stable value would perform in a rapidly rising interest rate environment. The rapid rise in short-term interest rates since March of 2022 is the largest increase in rates since the 1980s and provides data to test these theories. As anticipated, money market funds have provided more favorable rates in the short run. Even though stable value may lag for now, history shows, and we expect, that stable value crediting rates will more gradually adjust to the higher rate environment with minimal volatility along the way.
