Communicating the Financial Health of Public Pension Plans

The Society of Actuaries’ Social Insurance and Public Finance Section is pleased to make available the results of a research project that has developed prototype reports intended to provide useful information to a variety of stakeholders on the financial health and prospects of state and municipal plans. The material includes prototype reports on two example state pension systems. The prototype reports include a narrative portion and a dashboard that provides quantitative indicators and a summary of the structure of benefits and actuarial assumptions. The material was authored by George (Sandy) Mackenzie.
