既然已经是over funded了 为何还需要投资alternative

NO.PZ2023010409000019

问题如下:

After success working with Whatsit Widgets, Stuart has been called to help with the Pension Reserves fund of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Presently, the plan is overfunded.

There are no liquidity requirements at this time, and none expected for many years. Stuart considers the four portfolios shown in Exhibit 1.


Recommend an asset allocation in Exhibit 1 for the Commonwealth’s pension reserve fund and justify your response with two reasons.

选项:

解释:

Portfolio D has the best-suited asset allocation.

Justification:

The Commonwealth’s pension reserve fund is currently in the accumulation phase. During this phase, the pension reserve funds are not taking withdrawals and will generally invest in a diversified portfolio with the majority in equities and alternative investments.

Given the allocation choices provided, Portfolio D has the greatest weighting in equities and alternative investments.

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


既然已经是over funded了 为何还需要投资alternative


按照正常逻辑本来是的,但是这道题除了是overfund还有一点是多年没有现金流流出。


注意,这个不是pension fund,这个是主权财富基金(sovereign wealth fund)里面的pension reserve funds,由于是主权财富基金,所以风险承受能力与投资期会更长一些, 大于一般的Pension。


关于主权财富基金里的Pension reserve funds,我们分为两个阶段,不同的阶段投资的标的不同。


在accumulation phase时,Pension reserve funds的风险承受能力很高,可以投资的非常激进。因为Accumulation phase时,基金并不需要发放Benefit(即无cash outflow或者很少)。


在Decumulation phase时,Pension reserve funds开始发放现金流了,此时投资会更加保守一些。


碰到主权财富基金里的Pension reserve funds,先判断处于accumulation阶段还是处于decumulation阶段,然后再判断风险承受能力与组合。


这道题的Portfolio C其实也可以,但是D更适合本题的情景。


因为题干强调了基金是overfunded,目前和未来很多年都没有现金流流出。因此可以投资地更加激进。


而Portfolio C的特点是投了很多fixed-income,这种就适合有一定现金流流出的基金(换句话说,就相对不太适合本题没有现金流流出的基金)。
