Pension funds control relatively large amounts of capital and represent the largest institutional investors in many nations.

  41. Defined-contribution plan • Provides benefits determined by the accumulated contributions and the fund’s investment performance • “Contributions” are designated in plan, not amounts available at retirement • Firm knows with certainty the amount of the contribution • Provides uncertain benefits to participants

  42. HybridPension Plan Defined benefit pension plans are cumbersome for the plan sponsor to administer and are not portable from one job to another by employees in an increasingly mobile workforce. Defined contribution plans put the investment choices and investment risk on the employee. In response to these and other limitations forms of hybrid pension plans, or combinations of defined benefit and defined contribution plans developed.

  43. CashBalancePension Plan • A cash balance pension plan is basically a defined benefit with some of the features of a defined contribution plan. A cash balance plan defines future pension benefits, not employer contributions.

  47. Pensionregulation • Accounting regulations • Allow companies to more quickly recognize gains and losses • May increase the volatility of funds’ returns • Rules may affect portfolio composition • Underfunded plans shown as a liability on the balance sheet • Volatility of returns also depends on the composition of the portfolio

  48. Managers of PensionFunds • A plan sponsor chooses one of the following to manage the defined benefit pension assets under its control: • 1) use in-house staff to manage all the pension assets itself • 2) distribute the pension assets to one or more money management firms to manage • 3) combine alternatives 1 and 2.

  49.
