This chapter addresses the issue of the financial sustainability of public PAYG pension schemes. Criticalities and, in particular, demographic risks affecting those schemes have been analysed. A possible solution to reduce demographic risk impact is presented, that is the introduction of a...

The aim of this contribution is to study the sustainability of a pay-as-you-go pension fund, through the analysis of demographic risk affecting these types of pension funds. A model for the evolution of the fund is presented considering the stochastic variables global asset return and new...

This paper deals with demographic risk in private pay-as-you-go pension systems. In particular, it analyzes the financial sustainability of the fund in a stochastic framework. We present a model to investigate the dynamics of these types of pension funds which operate according to the...

The aim of this paper is to analyze private pension systems financed by pay-as-you-go, with a focus on the pension funds of the Italian Professional Orders. The research centres on the financial and demographic risks and on their impact on the future evolution of the fund. It presents a model to...

The paper analyzes the financial sustainability of private pay-as-you-go pension funds, focusing on the particular demographic risks affecting these institutions. We propose a model to describe the evolution of these pension funds, including two stochastic variables: â€global asset...

The aim of the paper is to develop a technique for rebalancing pension fund portfolios in function of their point wise level of risk. The performance of pension funds is often measured by their global asset returns because of the latter's influence on periodic contributions and/or future...

A comparison between A(1) and A(2) processes, when used for describing the evolution in time of the global rate of return on investments made by an insurance company, is proposed. In particular, we compare the two processes analysing the parameter sensibility to the size of the sampling...

The paper examines the problem of determining the distribution function for random summing of independent, identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables. The aim of this paper is to develop a suitable approach to determine the total claim cost distribution. There are few applications in...
