Pension Indicator Helps Sponsors Evaluate Risk Exposure

A press release said the online resource is designed to allow employers to evaluate their pension plan risk exposure by monitoring the estimated changes to their plan’s funded status.    

The tool provides the percentage change in the funded level of a pension plan, both year-to-date and month-over-month as of December 31, 2010, based on the investment mix and plan type. Commentary is provided to help employers and pension professionals evaluate what the values and changes mean to them.   

The Pension Indicator will be updated on a monthly basis.
