Asset liability management for open pension schemes using multistage stochastic programming under Solvency-II-based regulatory constraints

Open private pension schemes are subject to risk-based regulation. In this context, asset and liability management (ALM) frameworks for pension plan operators are increasingly based on multistage stochastic programming (MSP). The significant advances in MSP modeling notwithstanding, previous works ignore risk-based regulatory constraints such as those in the Solvency II Directive. In this work, we propose an ALM model for open pension schemes based on an MSP model with a thorough representation of a risk-based regulation. Our proposal aims to define a dynamic optimal asset allocation including a detailed depiction of bond coupon payments, based on insolvency risk measures over a planning horizon. We present a realistic case study based on the Brazilian market, where the regulator imposes Solvency-II-compatible constraints on credit, underwriting, and operational risks. We develop a computationally tractable MSP model with explicit regulatory constraints, which induce risk aversion for even risk-neutral open pension plan operators.     

Some current issues in accounting for the cost of defined benefit pension schemes

This paper discusses the issues underlying the InternationalAccounting Standards Board (IASB)'s review of accounting forpension obligations. Pension obligations are currently dealtwith by International Accounting Standard 19. This containsthree important features, which are currently under review:(1) A smoothing mechanism (the ‘corridor’) for recognizingactuarial gains and losses. (2) An expected rate of return onplan assets, which is different from the actual (achieved) return.(3) An asset ceiling, which limits the extent to which surplusplan assets are recognized in the accounts of the employer.The IASB's current thinking on these issues is explained, andcomparisons are made with the UK's controversial Financial ReportingStandard 17. The paper concludes with a brief discussion oftwo important aspects of measuring defined benefit obligationsthat are not being considered in the present review.     

Valuation of life insurance surrender and exchange options

In this paper I analyze two American-type options related to life and pension insurance contract. I use Monte Carlo simulations combined with the Longstaff and Schwartz approach for the valuation of American options to find the value of a typical surrender option. I find that the values may be much lower than previously indicated. This reduction of value is due to a different treatment of bonuses, limiting the customers’ ability to forecast the return of their policies. The numerical results show that the value may be higher than the corresponding surrender option.     

贝叶斯方法在养老基金资产负债管理中的应用

把一个静态资产负债管理模型———均值方差模型应用到定额给付养老金计划的资产负债管理中,在允许无风险借贷的条件下研究养老金在无风险资产和风险资产间的分配问题,用定量分析的方法求出了最优投资组合的一般形式;又针对投资收益率特征参数未知的情况,提出了矩估计和贝叶斯估计两种方法求解最优资本配置比例,将两种方法的结果与一般形式对比,分析了影响最优投资组合的因素,得知养老基金在风险资产中的投资比例与基金经理对风险的厌恶程度、风险资产的风险益酬、风险资产收益率的波动性成负相关关系;并且随决策者掌握的历史信息增加,在风险资产上的投资比例也随之增加,投资行为逐渐趋于理性化;对上述结果进行仿真,验证了结论的有效性。

A stochastic Nash equilibrium portfolio game between two DC pension funds

In this paper, we study the stochastic Nash equilibrium portfolio game between two pension funds under inflation risks. The financial market consists of cash, bond and two stocks. It is assumed that the price index is derived through a generalized Fisher equation while the bond is related to the price index to hedge the risk of inflation. Besides, these two pension managers can invest in their familiar stocks. The goal of the pension managers is to maximize the utility of the weighted terminal wealth and relative wealth. Dynamic programming method is employed to derive the Nash equilibrium strategies. In the end, a numerical analysis is presented to reveal the economic behaviors of the two DC pension funds.     

Precommitment and equilibrium investment strategies for defined contribution pension plans under a jump–diffusion model

In this paper, we study an optimal investment problem under the mean–variance criterion for defined contribution pension plans during the accumulation phase. To protect the rights of a plan member who dies before retirement, a clause on the return of premiums for the plan member is adopted. We assume that the manager of the pension plan is allowed to invest the premiums in a financial market, which consists of one risk-free asset and one risky asset whose price process is modeled by a jump–diffusion process. The precommitment strategy and the corresponding value function are obtained using the stochastic dynamic programming approach. Under the framework of game theory and the assumption that the manager’s risk aversion coefficient depends on the current wealth, the equilibrium strategy and the corresponding equilibrium value function are also derived. Our results show that with the same level of variance in the terminal wealth, the expected optimal terminal wealth under the precommitment strategy is greater than that under the equilibrium strategy with a constant risk aversion coefficient; the equilibrium strategy with a constant risk aversion coefficient is revealed to be different from that with a state-dependent risk aversion coefficient; and our results can also be degenerated to the results of He and Liang (2013b) and Björk et al. (2014). Finally, some numerical simulations are provided to illustrate our derived results.
