      The objective of risk:

      • The assets of the plan should be diversified to minimize the risk of large losses in one asset class, investment style, investment sector, maturity or geographical location, these are the factors that can reduce the ability to achieve the necessary amount of capital of the Plan as well as long-term investment purposes.

      Planning approval: Investment Committee will review quarterly investment efficiency. The investment policy will be reviewed annually or more frequently if there are major changes in laws and regulations, major changes in the state's capital plan or capital market conditions.

      Asset allocation: The Committee has the Investment Committee believes that the level of risk identified by the Plan is determined mainly by active asset allocation strategy of the Plan summarizes the factors that should be considered during identifying long-term investment asset allocation as:

      • The term of the Plan

      • What is the state's capital plan.

      2.1.8. Enterprise risk management and investment activities of the DB pension fund assets.

      A DB pension plan likely a major influence on the financial performance of the business financing plans, so the research on the investment activities of DB pension fund assets in relation to pensions and the objectives of the enterprise has appeared widely. In fact, we can draw some comments from observers. In terms of risk management, there are two important issues are:

      1. Pension investment management in relation to the normal investment activities.

      2. Contact the pension investments with pension liabilities.

      To explain the first problem, in Figure 3-1, we get the relationship between the performance of the business sponsor and the return on pension assets is a factor to monitor in the assess the level of risk. We explained that if the weaker the relationship, the greater the level of risk, and vice versa. Assume that enterprise risk and risk retirement portfolio positive contact with each other, a high level of operational risk will tend to limit the amount of your retirement portfolio risk and vice versa. Although we are interested in The investment policy, our vision will be complete if we consider the different aspects of building a retirement portfolio. A question related to the issue on whether a retirement portfolio to diversify risks related to the business activities of donors. In addition, a list of risk diversification activities of donors will increase the likelihood that donors need to increase the contributions to the implementation of the responsibility to pay for retirement, donors will be in the state can afford. Consider a stock portfolio is managed actively with a large amount of assets invested in the field of information technology. Such a portfolio will be less risky for a project sponsor activities in the field of production of consumer goods capital relationship quite small with the field of information technology, rather than a financial support activities in areas related to information technology (such as a DSL equipment provider for a phone manufacturer)

      For the second problem, the relationship, the goal of the management plan is to increase the likelihood that pension plan assets will be sufficient to fund operations to pay retirement benefits to request additional contributions minimum from donors. For a pension plan sufficient capital, the objective is to maintain the status of the plan (pension surplus) in relation to debt retirement. Although both problems are consistent look from the perspective of risk management, comprehensive approach to the management of rate assets / liabilities to portfolio construction has emphasized the management of investments in relation to the debt. From ALM perspective, the characteristics of risk in the investment policy must be described in relative terms. The key change from the expected variation of surplus pension assets to pension and abilities related to the expected level of the state capital in an appropriate time frame. In fact, we can use tools such as modeling to explore whether certain portfolio can be expected to satisfy the goals that the relative risk. Variability of the pension surplus is small if the change of the value of plan assets proportional to the change of pension liabilities. Because the pension liabilities sensitive to interest rate changes, plan sponsors emphasize that aspect ALM tend to be more beneficial when using multiple rate-sensitive securities (especially left shares).

      2.2. Defined contribution plans: The environment and the investment climate

      Two types of defined contribution plan is a plan that the investment activities of the property be conducted by donors and investment plan that works is controlled by the participants. Investment policy established by the plan to control by the donor is a simple operation of the planning process DB, here we will focus on the type of plan directed by participants.

      Investment issues of the DC plan as follows:

      • Diversify. Sponsors must provide a list of investment options allow participants to set up the portfolio accordingly. For example, in the United States, section 404 (c) of ERISA to establish a safe landing for DC project sponsor when there are recommendations on investment options are not effective or not careful if design or ( 1) at least three investment options to diversify the opposite of each other and (2) provision for participants can switch freely between the options. DC plan sponsors conducted by members often provide sophisticated retirement planning tools such as СКАЧАТЬ
