Name of Research Project:   Call for Papers-Optimal Strategies for Distribution of Retirement Income Resources
Research Entity:   Society of Actuaries
Contact Name:   Steven Siegel
Phone:   847-706-3578
Email:   ssiegel@soa.org
 
Research Objective:
This Call for Papers is being issued to inform and advance the Society of Actuaries Pension Section Council's Retirement 20/20 project. Its topic—optimal strategies for distribution of retirement income resources—is an outgrowth of discussions that occurred at the 2006 Retirement 20/20 conference. The primary objective is to stimulate debate on how individuals can best optimize the distribution and use of a lifetime accumulation of retirement resources to support and sustain them in retirement.
 
Description of Research:
The Society of Actuaries Retirement 20/20 project is seeking to define a new framework for the nation's retirement system. The project is focused on aligning the fundamental roles and risks of each of the four major stakeholders: government, employers, individuals and the investment/insurance markets. This Call for Papers seeks to contribute significantly to the framework of how accumulated resources are used for decision–making purposes and how they should be managed for appropriate distribution in retirement. Separately, while there are many legal issues that place constraints on what employer plans may provide and offer, those constraints will be considered in a separate component of the overall Retirement 20/20 project. Respondents to this call for paper may assume a constraint–free environment in formulating their ideas. However, they may also include within their papers discussion of constraints and possible solutions in light of them. For further information including deadlines, please see the web page at:Optimal Strategies for Distribution of Retirement Income Resources
