Paul Graf to Speak on Multiemployer Plan Annuity Purchases

Paul Graf will be participating in a session titled “Offloading Multiemployer Plan Risk” at the virtual Enrolled Actuaries meeting sponsored by the Conference of Consulting Actuaries on May 9, 2025.

A key lesson from the past 15 years is that multiemployer pension plans become increasingly vulnerable to market declines as they mature. Purchasing annuities for a segment of the retiree population can be an effective tool for mitigating this risk, and one that has become more cost-effective as interest rates have retreated from historic lows. Panelists will discuss the factors that trustees should consider when making this decision, review best practices for actuaries helping boards understand the key issues, and provide an overview of the process from start to finish.
