White paper: Planning your way out of the financial crisis

Some pension fund managers will have seen the financial storm coming and fully derisked their pension funds, but many did not. The reasons for not derisking are various, but the consequences have been painful. Why did not more companies and pension funds take the opportunity to derisk and what can they do now?

Understanding the derisking dilemma and how to escape it

AEGON Global Pensions latest white paper Planning your way out of the financial crisis investigates why pension funds have become such an important issue for CFOs and why companies and pension fund trustees should be making plans now to derisk their pensions.

The white paper discusses why the effect of the present crisis on pensions internationally is different from previous crises. Focusing on the UK, the USA and the Netherlands, it shows why it is increasingly difficult for CFOs of internationally operating companies to forecast and manage the impact of their pension funds on the corporate balance sheet.

In conclusion, the white paper provides a list of guidelines on how to derisk company pension plans.
