Impact of Pension Regulation

New pension regulation text tips the scale at over nine hundred pages. No wonder then that discussions abound with respect to who wins, who loses and how to take the next step to comply.

Part of a three day conference about liability-driven investing, sponsored by Pensions & Investments, Dr. Susan M. Mangiero joins a panel of esteemed pension professionals to address the impact of regulation. More information is provided below.

"The regulatory environment in the US is set to change in response to widespread pension plan underfunding. However, no one knows when (or if) a change will be made to the actuarial discount rate used by the federal government in calculating pension liabilities. Changes are expected to accounting rules regarding pensions, particularly FAS 87, which will affect actuarial smoothing. And the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. is likely to impose risk-based premiums on the funding level of a company's pension scheme. So how does LDI help offset the predicted effects of changes in pension regulation? This panel will discuss the pros and cons."
