Exhibit 4

Pure Defined Benefit Plans

Benefit determined by a formula

Usually involves Years of Credited Service

Final Average Salary (FAS)

A multiplier such as 2.2%

2.2% x 30 years x $50,000 = $33,000 per year

Exhibit 4

Pure Defined Contribution Plans

A stated percent of earnings is put into an account each year

Employee can usually direct the investment of that account

Balance in the account is available for distribution at retirement (or earlier)

Exhibit 4

Hybrid Plans

Pension plans that have elements of defined benefit plans and defined contributions 

Usually involved the benefit for the participant being awarded as a lump sum instead of as an annuity 

These types of plans are regulated as defined benefit plans

Examples of hybrid pension plans include cash balance and pension equity plans

The Concept of Present Value

Actuarial calculations almost always begin with the calculation of a present value

The present value of an amount of money payable in the future is the amount of money that, if we had it today, would accumulate to the amount that will be payable in the future

Measurement of Assets

For assets that have to be used today, Market Value is the most sensible measure

In the long term, the Market is always right In the short term the Market is often volatile and subject to 

temporary conditions and mood swings that distort the value  In pension funding, a volatile measurement of assets would 

tend to produce volatile contribution rates and funding progress measurements, both of which are undesirable

Commonly in pension funding, some type of smoothed market measurement is applied to the assets, and the result is called the ʺActuarial Value of Assetsʺ or the ʺFunding Value of Assetsʺ 

23

Exhibit 4

Example Calculation

Beginning Funding Value 45,676.7$            Plus Net Cash Flow  (735.4)                  + Assumed Return (8.0%) 3,624.7                +Phased in Return (loss) (36)                       

=Ending Funding Value of Assets 48,530$               Market Value of Assets 47,452$               Ratio 102%

24

Total Assets in Thousands

The difference between Funding Value and Market Value is $1,078 which must be phased‐in over a period of future years.

Exhibit 4

Comments

If the Market Value and the Actuarial Value of Assets differ materially, there will be an upward or downward bias in the actuary’s calculations of the contribution rate going forward 

Consequently, some actuaries provide an alternate expression of the contribution rate based on Market Value of Assets

Exhibit 4

ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS

33

Exhibit 4

The Concept of Present Value

Actuarial calculations almost always begin with the calculation of a present value

The present value of an amount of money payable in the future is the amount of money that, if we had it today, would accumulate to the amount that will be payable considering:►Investment return►Probability that money will be paid

The calculation of the present value depends upon assumptions

34

Exhibit 4

Present Value Assumptions 

Investment Return►Relates to Economic Assumptions

Probability that Money will be Paid►Relates to Demographic Assumptions, Mortality, Turnover, etc.

How Do Economic Assumptions Compare?

Assumption Interest Wage Inflation SpreadHigh 8.5% 5.5% 5.5%Low 7.0% 2.5% 2.75%

Most Common 8.0% 3.5% 4.5%

As a general rule, the most important assumption is the spread.  A high spread indicates a higher level of risk, which is similar to, but not necessarily identical to, the Equity Risk Premium share of the interest rate assumption.

Exhibit 4

I.  Benefit Structure

SURS members may choose at hire between oneof three benefit plans:►Traditional Plan*

• Defined benefit plan that provides a lifetime annuity

►Portable Plan*• Defined benefit plan that provides members the choice between alifetime annuity and a lump sum option equal to two times employeecontributions with interest (at the effective rate declared by the Board)

• Provides higher separation benefits and lower survivor retirement anddeath benefits compared to the Traditional Plan

►Self‐Managed Plan (SMP)• Defined contribution plan that provides a benefit based on member andemployer contributions and earnings.

3

*Members hired on or after January 1, 2011, are Tier II members that have a longer vesting period, older retirement eligibility ages and lower COLAs.

Exhibit 4

I.  Benefit Structure

The benefits provided under the Traditional andPortable Plans are based on the General Formula of2.2% of final average earnings times years of service

For members hired before July 1, 2005, the benefit isthe greater of the benefit calculated under theGeneral Formula and the Money Purchase Formula►The money purchase benefit is based on the annuitizedvalue of the account balance which includes:• Member contributions• Employer contributions of $2.40 for each $1.00 of member contributions• Interest at the Effective Rate of Interest declared by the Comptroller

4

Exhibit 4

II. Actuarial FundamentalsThe annual valuation

The actuary’s role is to perform an actuarialvaluation in order to measure the future benefitpromises, and using probabilistic assumptionsabout the future, determine the annual costnecessary to fund those benefits.►Each year the annual June 30 valuation of SURS iscompleted in October.

The actuarial accrued liability and normal cost isbased on:►Covered member data as of the valuation date;►Actuarial assumptions that have been adopted by theBoard; and

►Benefit provisions defined in statute.

5

Exhibit 4

II. Actuarial FundamentalsAssumptions about the future

Assumptions must be set for every contingency►The “decrements” that create a benefit stream, such asdeath, disability, retirement and termination

►The service, salary and ERI that lead to the ultimate benefitamount

Ideally there will be no bias in the assumptions►Their expected value of difference from experience is zero!► Some assumptions are cyclical, varying with economiccycles; mortality is progressive

►Bias will create upward or downward pressure oncontributions, potentially giving a false picture of the costsof the plan

Plan experience is monitored each year, and acomprehensive experience study is performed atleast every five years to validate the assumptions

6

Exhibit 4

II. Actuarial FundamentalsFunding Method “101”

Two primary goals►Accumulate sufficient funds by retirement►Maximize the amount of benefit paid for throughinvestment earnings

Accumulate by contributing the Normal Cost eachyear►Keeps the plan 100% funded

The Accrued Liability is the value of theaccumulated Normal Costs► “Where we should be”

But when funding or experience falls short, there isan unfunded portion of the accrued liability►Must also then make an amortization payment on the UAL

7

Exhibit 4

III. FundingStatutory Requirements

Section 15‐155 of the statute requires SURS to be 90%funded by 2045 based on a constant percentage ofpayroll or “backs into” an annual contribution that willachieve the 90% target

The contribution requirement under the current statutesis based on:► Current assets at the time of the valuation► Projected liabilities at 2045►Amount of contributions, calculated as a percent of pay,

required to reach a funded status (assets/liabilities) of 90% in2045• Takes into account projected member contributions and assumedinvestment earnings through 2045

8

Exhibit 4

III. FundingVariance from Actuarial Standards

The statute varies from actuarial standards inthat►The statute does not have a goal of funding all costs (ittargets 90%)• This means the plan costs more in contributions and is funded less byinvestments

►When future benefits are changed, the state takes a“credit” in the current period• But there is no such thing as a credit, since those members are not yethired

9

Exhibit 4

III.  FundingThe true cost of the plan

Ultimately the cost of the plan is the benefits paid However, wanting to have investments pay for thebulk of the benefits means the plan needs to beactuarially funded

Contributions need to be in the plan soon enough sothey can work on earning income

10

Exhibit 4

III.  FundingThe target funded ratio

Why isn’t a funding target of 90% “goodenough”?

The greatest efficiency of taxpayer dollarsoccurs when pension benefits are fundedeach year with normal cost►Efficiency means that the bulk of the benefitsare paid for the investment returns, therebypreserving taxpayer dollars for other uses.

III.  FundingRisks

Retirement Plans face many risks Ruin (running out of money); rising contributionrates; declining funded status (these are reallythe metrics for all the same risk‐that of being onthe path to ruin)

And the above risks can occur due to poorinvestment performance; lack of funding; higherthan expected liabilities

The trick is figuring out what can be managedand carefully containing those risks

13

Exhibit 4

IV. Key Actuarial Metrics

Similar to our physical health, there is not one key measure that can encompass the entire picture of a pension plan’s health.

However, a combination of measures, along with trend, can provide a better picture of a plan’s actuarial condition.

14

Exhibit 4

IV. Key Actuarial Metrics

Funded ratio measures the proportion of accruedliability (past normal costs) that is covered by assets.

A low funded ratio, combined with a trend ofdecreasing funded ratios would be an indication of aplan headed into poor actuarial condition.►Poor actuarial condition means either more contributions,more investment income or decreasing liabilities will berequired.

►As of June 30, 2012 the SURS funded ratio was 42%.►The national average is approximately 80%.

15

Exhibit 4

IV. Key Actuarial Metrics

A history of not meeting the annual requiredcontribution would be an indication of pooractuarial condition►The statute does not permit an “ARC” contribution

The missed contributions continue to flow back intothe unfunded accrued liability and would alsodecrease the funded ratio

16

Exhibit 4

V. Risk

Plans are maturing, and a large loss on the assets would fall to the active population/employer to make up the difference (since retirees no longer contribute to the enterprise or the plan).

To manage this risk, plans might consider “de‐risking” the asset portfolio as the plans mature.

Or plans might want to add a contribution reserve.

17

Exhibit 4

V. Risk

Plans often look at the ratio of the unfunded accruedliability to payroll.

This is a measure of “liability risk” – the larger theratio the greater the risk of liabilities rapidlyoutgrowing the affordability of the plan (sinceliabilities and contributions are generally computedas a percent of payroll).
