问题如下:

Which of the following would Browne least likely consider a source of risk for the Tucker pension plan?

选项:

A.Workforce characteristics B.The sponsor’s financial health C.Common risk exposures between the sponsor and the fund

解释:

Solution

B is correct. The plan sponsor holds an investment-grade credit rating, and there are no indications of declining financial health.

A is incorrect. There are a substantial number of retirees, and the active employees are older, with long service records, suggesting many are nearing retirement. The current asset allocation is both illiquid in nature (newly launched private equity funds and directly owned undeveloped real estate) and volatile in value (small-cap equities). Given the workforce characteristics, the fund should likely be moving to a more current income-producing allocation and one that would reduce surplus volatility.

C is incorrect because 18­%–19% of the fund’s assets are invested in the sponsor’s common stock. If the sponsor’s financial health declines, the value of fund assets will decline at precisely the same time the sponsor is required to make additional contributions. Because it is less likely to be able to do so when it is in poor financial health, this situation creates a greater risk of insolvency than if that allocation were in different assets.

老师,

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


结合这两段来看哈

Browne asks Miller for some advice on developing a proposal for a potential client, the defined benefit pension plan for Tucker Manufacturing. Tucker is a publicly traded firm whose stock is a part of the Russell 2000 Index. The firm has been in business for 82 years and has a Fitch credit rating of BBB+.


第一段主要是说T是上市公司,股票属于Russell 2000指数,BBB+的 credit rating。


The asset allocation of the portfolio is


37% publicly traded equity, mostly small-cap growth equities, about half of which is in Tucker common stock, which is considered a growth stock and pays no dividends;


29% private equity, invested in two recently launched funds; and


34% directly owned real estate, consisting of vacant land that is expected to be developed in 15–20 years.


这一段的意思是当前DB plan的投资是:

·  37%在上市股票上,主要是小市值、增长型股票;同时,一半的股票都投资在本公司的股票上,他们公司的股票是增长型,没有分红。从这句话可以判断,这个Asset投资了本公司股票,投资与公司的Correlation过高,导致了DB Plan的风险承受能力下降。

·  29%投资最新私募股票上;

·  34%投资在房地产上,包括空置的土地、计划在15~20年后开始建设。


综合来看可以判断Sponsor hold investment-grade credit rating,选B。
