Pension Commitments Valuation

Analysis of current pension plans:

  • analysis of the pension plan structure (retirement benefits, death, disability…)
  • analysis of the anticipated trend in pension costs
  • analysis of the current vehicles for funding the pension plan (internal scheme, group insurance contract, pension funds…)

Actuarial quantification of the deferred social commitments and the necessary reserves :

we calculate the annual pension obligations in compliance with the company's collective agreement and the amount of annual allocations due to the insurance company. In some countries such a quantification is required by the law; for example, the so-called " indemnités de fin de carrière " in France, a country in which the Gecalux Group is retained by several companies to calculate their reserves for retirement benefits.Benefiting from an independent and objective actuarial calculation gives you better control of the annual allocations in accordance with the obligations of the company.

Such an analysis provides an overview of the currently implemented pension scheme and enables you to maintain better control over future cost, to assess the level of risks borne by the employer and to preserve guaranteed benefits for employees, even in case of bankruptcy.

Pension Schemes Design and Re-engineering

  • Analysis of the objectives and situation of the company.
  • Research into the optimal design for the scheme : Defined Benefits, Defined Contributions, etc.
  • Conversion of the existing pension schemes
  • Identification of the most appropriate vehicles for funding the pension plan : internal scheme, group insurance, pension fund, etc.

The implementation of a tailor-made pension scheme improves the stability and control of expected future costs. A structure of this kind will also upgrade the pension benefits granted to employees and consequently enhance their contribution to the group's objectives and strategy.
