Notice of Proposed Procurement (NPP): project: tender_11968 - analysis services ( pbgf)
detailed description
the financial services regulatory authority (fsra) is seeking the services of a consulting firm to provide a comprehensive financial and risk analysis of the pension benefits guarantee fund (pbgf) in order to evaluate the pbgf's long-term sustainability considering the pbgf assessment levels, industry risks, the de-risking trend and consolidation activity in the pension sector.
scope of work
phase 1 deliverables
1. identify and articulate risks facing the long-term sustainability of the pbgf. seek agreement with fsra regarding these risks before further modelling and analysis is undertaken;
2. project liability cash flows under a range of risk scenarios and stress events (moderate and severe) to articulate a range of possible outcomes and probabilities;
3. determine sufficiency of current reserves, reserves required and margins for adverse deviations;
4. recommend ways to project adequacy of reserves and appropriate cycle to perform this type of formal financial, actuarial and risk analysis;
5. based on the range of outcomes and the objective for the pbgf to be independently self-sustaining, propose possible mitigation strategies including alternative pbgf benefit coverage formulas, different pbgf assessment formulas and assessment levels, a more appropriate return-seeking investment strategy (phase 2), and ways to address insufficient reserves, if the current level is deemed insufficient.
phase 2 deliverables
1. recommend the appropriate balance between capital protection and return seeking for the pbgf fund, considering the analysis performed in phase 1 and the need for the pbgf to be independently sustainable;
2. define risk appetite in terms of tolerance for increases in pbgf assessments, and the need for an independently sustainable pbgf;
3. projected liability cash flows under a number of stress events (moderate and severe) to inform asset cash flows and liquidity requirements;
4. liquidity requirements under moderate and severe scenarios;
5. strategic asset allocation to meet projected liability cash flows under moderate and stress scenarios, including asset class characteristics such as duration and quality;
6. benchmark recommendations and risk-adjusted return objectives.
