1) Defined Benefit, Defined Contribution pen- sion funds 2) The classic actuarial approach: no market interaction and stationarity 3) The modern approaches for DB and DC 4) Demographic risk and generational overlap- ping: a delayed optimization problem 5) Optimal design of a DC pension scheme without market interaction 6) Adding the market: how can pension funds beat the market?
1) reduction of the birth rate + 2) longer average life + 3) expanded school period and consequent 4) delay in beginning the working-life ⇓

solution preferred by workers, while the spon- soring employers will face the “contribution rate risk”
solution preferred by the corporate, because the investment’s risk is totally charged to the beneficiary (“solvency risk”) NOWADAYS:

Optimal strategy = strategy without guarantee +continuum of American put options
(the Lagrange multiplier is a process: contin- uous time almost sure constraint) Quantile approach is perhaps better: Pr(Ft ≥ target) ≥ 1 − α
Optimal for whom? ACTORS:
Jensen and Sørensen (2000): the presence of the guarantee is an obstacle = ⇒ no guarantee!!
Deelstra, Grasselli and Koehl (2003): necessity to specify how the fund surplus will be shared!! (F π

= Fund wealth - Guarantee = (1 − β) (F π

Insurance companies face this risk due to huge changes in mortality tables together with low interest rates (then increase in the liabilities)
nuity into lumpsum and vice versa (pension funds typically hedge mortality risk by del- egating insurance companies)

ministic distribution function for τ (Gom- pertz) ⇒ classic Merton trading strategy (see also PhD dissertation of Nicolas Rousseau, 1999)
El Karoui, Martellini (2001), Bouchard and Pham (2004), Zitkovic (2005),Blanchet-Scalliet, El Karoui, Jeanblanc and Martellini (2003) Utility maximization strategies with random hori- zon can be different from Merton’s strategies
