Combining System Dynamics and Asset-Liability Management in Pension Funds
System dynamics (SD) may amplify asset and liability management (ALM) methodology capability to be risk oriented. Therefore, this paper aims to apply SD principles to ALM models, in the specific case of pension funds. Conceptual issues assigned to ALM variables are described and a dynamic ALM approach, based on SD general principles and risk factors, is then examined. Risk must be defined in ta...
متن کاملAsset-liability management for Czech pension funds using stochastic programming
It is possible to model a wide range of portfolio management problems using stochastic programming. This approach requires the generation of input scenarios and probabilities, which represent the evolution of the return on investment, the stream of liabilities and other random phenomena of the problem and respect the no-arbitrage properties. The quality of the recommended capital allocation dep...
متن کاملOptimal asset allocation for aggregated defined benefit pension funds with stochastic interest rates
In this paper we study the optimal management of an aggregated pension fund of defined benefit type, in the presence of a stochastic interest rate. We suppose that the sponsor can invest in a savings account, in a risky stock and in a bond with the aim of minimizing deviations of the unfunded actuarial liability from zero along a finite time horizon. We solve the problem by means of optimal sto...
متن کاملMinimum funding ratios for defined-benefit pension funds*
We compute minimum nominal funding ratios for defined-benefit (DB) plans based on the expected utility that can be achieved in a defined-contribution (DC) pension scheme. Using Monte Carlo simulation, expected utility is computed for three different specifications of utility : power utility,mean-shortfall, andmean-downside deviation.Depending on risk aversion and the level of sophistication ass...
متن کاملOptimal risk management in defined benefit stochastic pension funds
We consider a continuous time dynamic pension funding model in a defined benefit plan of an employment system. The benefits liabilities are random, given by a geometric Brownian process. Three different situations are studied regarding the investment decisions taken by the sponsoring employer: in the first, the fund is invested at a constant, risk-free rate of interest; in the second, the promo...
