2 DB Plan DC Plan risks Employer risks Employees risks risks 2

3 Between employers and employees Across different generations: Different age groups have different risk profiles Employer risks Employees in different age groups Benefits of risk sharing discussed in Bovenberg et al. (2007), Gollier (2008), Blommestein et al. (2009), Cui et al. (2011) 3

4 Target Benefit: e.g. 1% of Final Average Earnings * Service Contribution: e.g. 15% of salary Employer Contribute Target Benefit Plan $$$ Benefit Employees Affordability test Triggers and actions 4

5 At each valuation point: Affordability test: whether the target benefit is affordable Funded ratio = Assets Liabilities Triggers: whether we should take action Immediate action: e.g. funded ratio 100% Delayed action: e.g. funded ratio corridor Upper bound: 110% Lower bound: 90% Actions: what adjustment to make Benefits (past and/or future accruals) Contributions Investment strategy 5

6 Distribution of benefit adjustments by size Without Corridor With Corridor (90%-110%) 6

7 Use value-based ALM approach Hoevenaars and Ponds (2007) Soer (2012) Lekniute, Beetsma, and Ponds (2014) Quantify value transfer when moving between designs 7
