Volatility Management in Defined-Benefit Pension Plans: Basic Optimization
Volatility Management in Defined-Benefit Pension Plans: Basic Optimization The purpose of ... duplicates the probative value of another metric. The table below summarizes the behavior of the metrics we ...Description: The purpose of this paper is to explore a methodology for choosing among techniques for managing contribution volatility in defined- benefit pension plans. A frequently used – and as often criticized – method for managing contribution volatility is to base actuarial cost on smoothed assets. Our goal in this paper is to develop a methodology for measuring and evaluating the quantitative impact of competing asset smoothing policies. We proceed by investigating a series of basic pension metrics, evaluating the characteristics of each using a simulated pension plan. We then use normalized and weighted combinations of these metrics to determine an optimal smoothing policy.
