问题如下:
PZ is the sponsor of a $1.25 billion
legacy DB plan, which is now frozen. The funded ratio is 0.8. The plan sponsor, receives three asset allocation approaches
recommendations:
•
a surplus optimization approach.
•
an integrated asset–liability approach.
•
a hedging/return-seeking portfolios approach.
When evaluate asset allocation choices, consider the plan
sponsor’s costs.
Determine which asset allocation approach would be most appropriate for the pension fund. Justify your response.

解释:
Surplus optimization approach is the most appropriate.
Surplus optimization does not require an overfunded status, while implementation of the basic two-portfolio approach depends on having an overfunded plan.
Integrating the liability portfolio with the asset portfolio, is the most comprehensive of the three approaches, but increased complexity.
two portfolio法中,basic要求overfunded,variants不要求overfunded。题目中没有明确是用basic,那为什么通过fund ratio=0.8这个条件,把two portfolio法排除了呢
