How Good is Your Mortality Assumption?

How has experience conformed over the last few years?

Should you reflect future mortality improvements?

The actuarial standards require us to at least consider future mortality improvements

Obesity - Mortality
Overweight and obesity increase the rate of mortality1
 Lowest levels of mortality are associated with BMI of 22.5-25
 Men with a BMI of 30 or more have a risk of death 1.61 times
greater than those with a BMI of between 22.5 and 24.92
 Research shows that overweight and obesity are responsible
for1:
• 16% of mortality from ages 30 to 44
• 17% of mortality from ages 45 to 54
• 14% of mortality from ages 55 to 64

Expected Return: Hypothetical Pension Fund
This exhibit shows expected returns for a hypothetical multiemployer pension fund based on (1) the most
conservative advisor’s assumptions, (2) the composite assumptions from the survey, and (3) the most optimistic
advisor’s assumptions. Expected geometric returns are projected over a 20-year period.

Considerations and Limitations
- Target allocations may be approximated if certain asset classes are not included in the survey.
- Capital market assumptions are based on indexed returns and do not reflect anticipated alpha.
- Many investment advisors provided assumptions over a short time horizon (10 years or less).
- For advisors that provided both short term and long-term assumptions, long-term assumptions were
generally higher by 100 to 200 basis points for fixed income investments.
