Pension funds governance: combining SD, Agent based Modelling and fuzzy logic to adress Dynamic Asset and Liability Management (ALM) problem
نویسنده
چکیده
The governance is a system composed by a great number of interdependent entities, with different degrees of relationship. This article considers the governance of a socialeconomic and political environment under a pension fund’s perspective as a complex system in which the interactions among the actors influence the governance and the governance can influence their interactions, in a recursive way. In order to cope with the peculiarities of complex systems, a system dynamics (SD) model, combined with an agentbased model is proposed to analyze population dynamics and the influence of credibility as a subjective factor over the expected adhesion of new participants. The behavior of the agents is modeled using fuzzy logic. This way, the article aims to evidence the power of a multi-paradigm model to study complex environments and to offer a way to address a dynamic ALM problem in order to manage solvency and liquidity risks in pension funds.

We consider an asset-liability management (ALM) problem for a defined benefit pension fund (PF). The PF manager is assumed to follow a maximal fund valuation problem facing an extended set of risk factors: due to the longevity of the PF members, the inflation affecting salaries in real terms and future incomes, interest rates and market factors affecting jointly the PF liability and asset p...

This paper empirically examines the strategic asset allocation and the asset/liability issues in the Finnish defined benefit pension funds. The results indicate that there is a relationship between the liability structure and the asset allocation. While pension funds with younger participants have more equity exposure, more mature pension funds have more fixed income investments. Wide dispersio...

The objective of most US institutions with assets to invest is to fund some sort of liability, as is the case with banks, insurance companies, pension funds, and so forth. As a result, asset/liability management (ALM) should be the investment focus and the basis for selecting the core portfolio. Insurance companies may be the birthplace of ALM and certainly have been the model of ALM discipline...
