Abstract:
Defined Benefit (DB) state pension trust funds are an integral component of state finances and play a major role in the country’s labor and capital markets. The last decade though has seen a substantial growth in unfunded pension obligations and a seeming inability by states to make the contributions needed to cover funding shortfalls. When coupled with even larger unfunded retirement health benefits, the looming threat of insolvent state retirement systems pose both current and long-term fiscal challenges to state governments already struggling with the ongoing economic downturn and billions

stochastic approach to decision-making in defined benefit pension schemes is presented. Existing decision-making tools in the form of actuarial valuations and asset and liability modelling are discussed.

Pension fund control using a quadratic criteria with linear factors is studied in the case where the fund is invested in a risk-free asset and a risky asset. Optimal asset allocation strategies are shown to be counter-intuitive. The optimal strategy is shown to involve increasing the allocation

The issue of increasing unfunded pension liabilities of state and local governments has drawn increasing attentions in the last few years, especially after the 2008 stock market downturn.

Pension funds are important institutions providing retirement income in our ageing societies and influential investors on international capital markets. Investment is a core function at pension funds; the investment return is an important tool in providing adequate pension benefits at sustainable costs.

This century's financial crises deeply unsettled the pension fund universe. When the benign environment of the 19905 ended, DB pension funds found themse

These reserves for prudence, however, were not permitted to put the fund into deficit (the no-deficit clause).

O mais antigo modelo de plano de beneficios implantado no Brasil, o plano de beneficio definido, tem características bastante vantajosas aos participantes, pois as empresas patrocinadoras assumem os riscos de desequilíbrio do plano, e os beneficios futuros são assegurados aos participantes. O segundo modelo, mais recente no país, tem como

Abstract:
A previdência complementar é um importante instrumento para a complementação de renda na aposentadoria e configura-se como benefício atrativo às carreiras que as provêm. Pela própria natureza, geralmente produz efeitos a longo prazo e demanda avaliação atuarial para a determinação da saúde financeira dos planos, utilizando-se, para tal, de premissas aderentes às características econômicas e biográficas da população alvo. A presente dissertação procura, a partir da premissa taxa de desconto, apresentar as variações da obrigação atuarial frente ao nível da taxa de juros, principalmente quando ap

Mestrado em Actuarial Science<br>Os dados são o objeto de uma análise atuarial. O primeiro passo de uma avaliação é a revisão dos dados, juntamente com a definição dos pressupostos necessários e tendo conhecimento da teoria atuarial - estas componentes juntas permitirão ao atuário realizar os cálculos necessários e interpretar os resultados obtidos. Tendo isto em consideração, a qualidade dos dados sobressaiu como um elemento fundamental, tendo sido o tema escolhido para este trabalho. Depois de um estágio no escritório de Lisboa da Willis Towers Watson, percebi que os dados são um campo bas

Business Administration<br>Ph.D.<br>This dissertation studies underfunding in defined benefit (DB) pension plans and firms' contribution behavior, 401(k) plan participant investments in lifecycle funds under plan sponsors' initiative, and fund commonalities within mutual fund families. Responding to the recent decline in DB pension funding, firms have increased pension contributions to their underfunded plans. In the first essay I empirically examine firms' contribution behavior to underfunded DB plans and funding choice for pension contributions. I find that firms reveal different sen

Mestrado em Economia Monetária e Financeira<br>O objectivo deste trabalho é averiguar empiricamente a existência de uma relação entre o nível de financiamento das responsabilidades com os planos de pensões de benefício definido e o valor de mercado da empresa. Esta relação tem importantes implicações na poupança agregada e no governo das sociedades. Foram seleccionadas para análise as empresas do PSI Geral que providenciavam este tipo de plano, abrangendo um período de 6 anos, de 2005 até 2010. O resultado das estimações revela uma relação estatisticamente significativa apenas para o ano de 20
