Gullible's Travels: Journeys in plan design
< http://www.mercer.com/referencecontent.jhtml?idContent=1282630>
The first in our "Design for the Future" series of articles examines behavioural economics and Enterprise Risk Management and explores how employers can use risk analysis to better manage their financial risks by both redesigning their plans and changing their investment strategies.
----------
Defined contribution plans: The challenge of achieving benefit adequacy
< http://www.mercer.com/referencecontent.jhtml?idContent=1282625>
Our new DC series kicks off with a look at the history of DC plan growth and the key features that have evolved to engage members to contribute adequately to their retirement funds. What can multinationals learn from countries with established DC structures?
----------
The pension landscape: What do all the surveys tell us?
< http://www.mercer.com/referencecontent.jhtml?idContent=1282635>
Our survey addict delves into some of the surveys published recently on pension plan funding around the world and asks: what are they really telling us? Is the pension system returning to health, and can surveys help companies make the decisions that matter?
----------
South Korea: Corporate pension developments
< http://www.mercer.com/referencecontent.jhtml?idContent=1282715>
We look at how multinationals operating in Korea are responding to the Employee Retirement Security Act and its impact on retirement planning for these companies
