The Society of Actuaries Research Institute and the Canadian Institute of Actuaries have jointly published a new research report titled Benefit at Risk for Lifetime Pension Pools. Lifetime pension pools are longevity risk sharing arrangements that can be used within defined contribution (DC) plans, individual retirement accounts (IRAs), and similar retirement savings accounts.
"Several modern retirement arrangements, including lifetime pension pools, allow retirees to convert a single premium into income for life that varies with investment and mortality experience. To assess how much risk members bear in these arrangements, this report introduces a collection of new risk measures — called benefit at risk, or BaR for short — to be used in the context of varying benefits." ~Jean-François Bégin and Barbara Sanders
