American Academy of Actuaries' April 4, 2011, Briefing on "Understanding Retirement Risk" - Part 1 Presentation slides: bit.ly American Academy of Actuaries pension experts addressed the risks inherent with retirement plan designs and the implications for retirement planning and public policy in this April 4, 2011, Capitol Hill Briefing, "Pension Risk and Your Retirement: Understanding Retirement Risk and Overcoming Challenges through Public Policy Options." Noting that half the population outlives its life expectancy but that most retirees plan for their assets to last only through their life expectancy, presenters Ethan Kra and Lane West detailed a lengthy list of risks to a safe and comfortable retirement, including investment risk, longevity risk, inflation risk, expense risk, and interest rate risk. Other threats include timing of retirement, not saving enough, not saving early enough, leakage from defined contribution (DC) plans when employees roll over savings into an IRA, and being out of the work force during a portion of one's prime earning years. "Public policy should work to promote lifetime income," Kra explained. Effective public policy reforms that could achieve that goal include: • Providing incentives for workers to increase retirement savings; • Discouraging lump sum distributions from (DC) plans and encouraging annuitization of lump sum distributions; • Penalizing leakage of funds at the time of DC rollovers or even mandating rollovers; • Supporting pooling of risk; and, • Promoting lifetime income arrangements such as annuities.

Are Actuaries Overpaid? The panel that runs Connecticut state employees retirement programs wants to increase the controversial fee it pays two actuaries to attend meetings from $2900 to $3000 per session. State Comptroller Nancy Wyman, a non-voting, ex-officio member of the Connecticut State Employees Retirement Commission, said she wants the panel to trim those payments or shell ask lawmakers to require it to do so. Wymans comments came in response to a review issued last week by state auditors, who reported that the commission pays two of its three professional actuaries, Claude Poulin of North Carolina and Robert D. Baus of New Jersey, a per diem of $2900 per meeting, as well as compensation for first-class air travel, meals, and hotel bills. In two of several potentially embarrassing disclosures, the auditors said Baus had collected $5800 for two meetings held on the same day, and that Poulin was paid $944 for a round-trip, first-class airfare. Over the last fiscal year, the panel paid Poulin a total of $98474 and paid Baus a total of $91891. The 15-member retirement commission includes six trustees representing state employees, six representing state management, the two professional actuaries, Poulin and Baus, and a neutral trustee, its chairman.
