Group Pension Managed Funds Update to 31st May 2007 Summary During May, group pension managed funds made strong gains on the back of rising equity markets. Among the ten main managed fund providers, returns during May ranged from 2.2% (from Setanta Asset Management) to 3.8% (achieved by Irish Life Investment Managers). The average fund returned 3.0% over the month. As a result, ov
