Pension Schemes and Early Retirement
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 August 2014
Extract
An actuary has two major responsibilities in respect of a fully functional pension scheme:
(i) To perform (and report on) periodic actuarial investigations; these have the dual purpose of confirming the security of the members' accumulated benefits and of determining, with the agreement of the employers, an appropriate scheme of funding;
(ii) To provide tables for application to early leaver benefits for the determination of alternative options.
Much has been written on the first of these functions and I expand on this only to a limited extent in §2. This paper addresses itself more to the practical implications of the second of them and, in particular, to the early retirement option.
