Managing pension plan risk in unprecedented times


Document Download presentation


The recent downturn in financial markets has caused many pension plan sponsors to re-think their appetite for risk. That said, although some sponsors would like to reduce exposure to risky assets, they are concerned about sacrificing the potential for enhanced returns as markets hopefully improve in the future. In this web briefing, Mercer specialists discuss: risks facing pension plans, strategies for reducing those risks, while still retaining some potential for reasonable returns and timing of the implementation of risk reduction strategies. (Recorded, 3 June 2009)
