Description: This is a discussion on pensions and if takes a closer look at the Deposit Administration. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1950, Vol. 2, No. 4.

Description: The purpose of this paper is to describe an actuarially acceptable and mathematically definitive method for allocating gains by source. Followed by a discussion paper submitted

Description: An extension of a paper published in the 1952 Transactions by the same author, describing and classifying various funding methods for defined benefit pension plans. Followed by discussion papers submitted by several authors.

Description: These are discussions of the following research papers: 1. 'Actuarial Functions as Expected Values' by John A. Fibiger and Stephen G. Kellison, and 2. 'A New Look at Gain and Loss Analysis' by Arthur W. Anderson. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1971, Vol. 23, Pt. 1, No. 66 AB.

Description: This is a book review of 'Pension Mathematics for Actuaries' by Arthur W. Anderson. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1985, Vol. 37.

Description: This paper demonstrates how, under the projected benefit cost methods whereby the gains are reflected in the normal cost rate, gains determined at a given valuation date are amortized over the future working lifetime of the active employees included in the valuation as of that date.

Description: This is a panel discussion about how frequently actuarial valuations should be made of trusteed pension plans and deposit administration plans. Also discussed is what government regulations require as to reports on such plans. From Transaction of Society of Actuaries 1959, Vol. 11, No. 29 AB.

Description: This paper discusses the difficulty in measuring inflation and indicates the wide range of options available to corporate sponsors to lessen the impact of inflation on pensioners. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1982, Vol. 34.

Description: The objective of this paper is twofold. First, a pedagogical approach is taken to derive the pension plan gain and loss formulas by extending the mathematical theory underlying the actuarial funding methods. It is the author's intent to emphasize the similarities between gain and loss formulas developed for individual funding methods and the formulas developed for aggregate funding methods. Indeed, the formulas are fundamentally identical. The second objective is to afford the reader an opportunity to reinforce understanding by providing two comprehensive numerical examples and analyzing actuarial experience by source. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1981, Vol. 33.

Description: This is a discussion of the paper, Actuarial Note: The Valuation of Self-Insured Retirement Plans by Joseph C. Noback. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1950, Vol. 2, No. 4.
