James Rizzo Discusses Expected Pension Return Assumption at CCA Annual Meeting

James Rizzo participated in a panel discussion for the session “Practical Aspects of Setting the Expected Pension Return Assumption” at the 2021 Conference of Consulting Actuaries Annual Meeting.

Mr. Rizzo discussed different methods to calculate a portfolio’s expected geometric mean return, which utilize capital market assumptions for each asset class as provided by professional investment forecasters. The expected geometric return is a measure presented by actuaries that informs plan trustees in setting the actuarial valuation’s investment return assumption.
