Due to recent economic changes, Aon Hewitt has begun research into an alternative pension plan called a Managed Account Plan. To provide Aon Hewitt with information about the risks of the MAPs to employers, this MQP simulated a population and that population’s additional liabilities at different guaranteed rates. The final model compares the risk of a MAP against a traditional Cash Balance plan. The analysis has shown that MAPs have potential benefits and warrant further research.
