Sharing Rules
• Key questions:– What will retirees receive under expected economic
conditions?
– How will retirees’ shares change when economic conditions differ from expectations?

Social and Financial Contracts
• All methods rely to an extent on social contracts• Pure social contracts make sharing of output
more explicit• Financial contracts allow more variation in
individual risk-taking
![Page 16: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Alternative Approaches
• Intra-family Social contracts• Collective Social Contracts• Employer-based Defined Benefit Plans• Defined Contribution Plans
![Page 17: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Retirement Financing:Within the Family
![Page 18: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Intra-Family Social Contracts
• Predominant but not exclusive method for sharing worker output with children– Evolutionary imperative
• Used predominantly in agrarian economies• Risk typically shared by all generations
– Lower worker income results in reduced standard of living for most or all family members
![Page 19: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Social Security
![Page 20: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Collective Social Contracts
• Social Security or Social Insurance• Workers provide mandatory contributions of
portions of their output• Retirees and their families receive payments
based in part on their contributions– Minimum floors– Progressive formulas– Little or no value at death
![Page 21: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Collective Social Contracts: Benefit Adjustments
• Cost-of-living index– Worker/retiree shares depend on worker productivity
and employment
• Index of productivity per worker– Worker/retiree shares depend on employment
• Gross Domestic Product– Worker/retiree shares could be independent of
productivity and employment
![Page 22: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Retirement Financing:Defined Benefit Plans
![Page 23: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Employer-based Defined Benefit Plans
• Implicit contributions– Workers paid less in explicit wages and salaries
• Benefits provided as a single or joint annuity– In some cases, lump sum payments allowed
• Benefits based on years of service and possibly salary
• Payments can be inflation-indexed• Employer financial risk may be mitigated by
government-sponsored insurance
![Page 24: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Retirement Financing:Defined Contribution Plans
![Page 25: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Defined Contribution Plans
• Depend on financial instruments and institutions• Workers allocate part of their salary to a
personal investment fund• Workers choose their own investments • At retirement, workers may purchase annuities
but may not be required to do so• Employers or social policy may constrain
contributions, investments and/or annuitization
![Page 26: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Evaluating Saving and Investment Plans: Monte Carlo Simulation
• Produce one scenario– Draw one period’s asset returns from joint probability
distribution– Calculate portfolio return– Adjust for new saving or spending– Repeat for required number of years– Determine final outcome
• Repeat thousands of times– Generate many possible scenarios– Determine the range of possible final outcomes
![Page 31: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Sharing Productivity
• How should productivity be shared?– Between workers and retirees as a whole– Among retirees individually
• Thesis– The larger the proportion of the population that is
retired, the greater the need for the average retiree to bear some economy-wide risk
• Question:– Should every retiree bear the same risk or should
people be allowed to bear different amounts of risk?
![Page 34: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Risk-sharing
• Collective risk-sharing– Economy-wide social programs
• Common risk-sharing within groups– Employer-based defined benefit plans– Collective insurance for employer bankruptcy
• Individual risk-sharing– Defined contribution plans– Require financial instruments and institutions
![Page 35: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Financial Instruments and Institutions
• Traditional instruments– Government bonds– Corporate bonds– Corporate Stocks
• Financial instruments– Mutual fund shares– Derivatives
• Financial Institutions– Derivative counterparties– Annuity providers
![Page 36: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Counterparty Risk
• Added risk due to the possibility that the provider of a financial instrument will not deliver the promised amount on time and in full
• Counterparty risk can be present for– Annuities– Derivatives– Any financial contract in which another party has
promised to make a payment in the future
![Page 37: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Lehman Zertificates
• Sold by banks– Dresdner, Citibank, Frankfurter Sparkasse
• Example:– Yearly payments based on how high the DAX rose– Limited losses if the DAX fell
• A bearer bond issued by Lehman– “All major ratings agencies gave Lehman good marks
until it collapsed”

Lehman Minibonds
Product Summary
This product is designed for defensive investors seeking exposure to high grade assets that provide steady coupons
and enhanced yields. Investors can gain exposure to thecredit risks of the reference entities without directly holdingthe debt obligations of the reference entities and without
involving any reference entity in the transaction.
![Page 41: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The Economist, Nov. 20, 2008
“Asian pensioners are the latest victims of Lehman’s bankruptcy …
From 2006 onwards, banks and brokers sold … [minibonds] to individuals desperate to earn more than the 1% or less on guaranteed deposits…
Buyers were betting on modest returns, typically 5-6%, low enough perhaps for them not to have been too suspicious about the instruments’ complexity…”
![Page 42: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The Economist (continued)
“ Although many different securities were affected, they shared a common trait: fiendish complexity…
One firm would arrange the structure and handle dividend payments. This was often Lehman…
Below the arranger were half a dozen or so “reference” banks which held collateralised-debt obligations and sometimes equity, issued by as many as 100-150 institutions.
![Page 43: Financing Retirement: Collective and Individual Approaches William F. Sharpe STANCO 25 Professor of Finance Stanford University](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c715503460f949226f8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The Economist (concluded)
“… most securities were sold with lengthy prospectuses that made clear the lack of principal protection
… [lawsuits] are likely to rest on the premise that the investments were unsuitable for the customers, or not understood by the salespeople.”
