After having distributed the participants among the enterprises, which execute the pension accumulation activity, the author of the thesis has investigated the item, i.e. the enterprises, which are mostly trusted by the dwellers of Lithuania from the aspect of management of their means. After having distributed the participants according to the investment strategy, the author has ascertained which pensions funds are mostly popular among people. According to the analysis, which has been done by the author of the thesis, founding of the new pension funds of the II-nd and of the III-rd level is observed. Several large-scale enterprises of the country have expanded the offer of their funds by founding the investment funds, attributed to a larger risk, which invest most their assets into the shares. The author of the thesis would like to stress that a larger number of funds means a tough competition regarding the clients. It’s useful as the increased number of funds urges the pension accumulating enterprises to improve the quality of management, to submit a more specified and various information about their activity.

O crescimento do Mercado de Previdência Complementar no Brasil é notoriamente percebido, conforme evidenciado nos relatórios de gestão apresentados pelo Ministério da Previdência Social, após o encerramento de cada exercício. Neste segmento, os Fundos de Pensão tem a importante missão de obter para seus participantes rentabilidade compatível com o mercado, evitar a deterioração do Patrimônio, garantir a continuidade do pagamento dos Benefícios já concedidos e a concessão dos benefícios futuros pactuados. O presente estudo apresenta as principais metodologias da ferramenta de ALM - Asset Liability Managment que podem ser utilizadas para gestão de Ativo/Passivo dos Fundos de Pensão. O objetivo do trabalho é sugerir a alocação de investimentos no segmento de Renda Fixa, através da análise da simulação do fluxo do passivo atuarial dos benefícios já concedidos de um Plano de Benefícios caracterizado na modalidade de Benefício Definido. Como resultado, foi apresentada sugestão de alocação dos investimentos no segmento de Renda Fixa, conforme vencimentos disponíveis no mercado em 31/12/2009, baseados na projeção dos fluxos de pagamento de Benefícios, investimentos e desinvestimentos, confirmando a importância da existência nas Entidades de Previdência Complementar, da relação entre a Gestão Atuarial e de Investimentos, para a definição estratégica dos investimentos. / Market growth for Pension Funds in Brazil is well perceived, as evidenced in the management reports submitted by the Ministry of Social Security after the end of each fiscal year. In this segment, Pension Funds play an important role for their members in obtaining return on investment in line with the market, preventing asset deterioration, ensuring continued payment of previously granted benefits and agreed future benefits. This study presents the main methodologies of the ALM tool – Asset Liability Management – that can be used to manage Assets/Liabilities of Pension Funds. The objective is to suggest the allocation of investments in the fixed income sector through analysis of the actuarial liability of previously granted benefits in a flow simulation, a Benefit Plan characterized in the Defined Benefit form. As a result, it was suggested that the allocation of investments in the fixed income segment, as due dates available in the market on Dec, 31 2009, based on the flow of benefits payment, investments and divestments, confirming the importance of the Supplementary Pension Entities, the relationship between the Actuarial and Investment Management, to define strategic investments.

Este trabalho apresenta uma abordagem via programação estocástica linear para a tomada de decisão de investimento em um fundo de pensão com plano de benefícios do tipo benefício definido. Propõe-se uma nova metodologia para a definição da alocação da carteira do fundo no instante inicial baseada na média de vários cenários econômicos gerados aleatoriamente. Como exemplo de aplicação, essa metodologia é utilizada para resolver o problema da alocação inicial da carteira de um grande fundo de pensão brasileiro e a alocação inicial obtida é avaliada em termos da probabilidade de insolvência e VaR, valor em risco, do fundo no instante final do horizonte de planejamento de investimento. / This paper presents an approach via linear stochastic programming for investment decision making in a defined benefit pension fund plan. It proposes a new methodology for defining the allocation of the portfolio at the initial time based on the average of several randomly generated economic scenarios. As an illustrative example, this methodology is used to solve the problem of portfolio initial allocation of a large Brazilian pension fund and the obtained initial allocation is evaluated in terms of funds probability of default and VaR, Value-at-Risk, at the final time of the investment planning horizon.

Public Relation in Privately-Held Pension Funds are the aim of this research, specifically in what concerns to its implantation and administration, in the light of Professor Maria Regina Esteves proposals. Theoretical sources with respect to Public and Private Pension Funds, Marketing, Communication, Communication Room and Public Relation are analyzed and presented. A field survey was undertaken, involving 83 Privately-Held Pension Funds, objecting quantitative perception. Conclusions points to the fact that most of Privately-Held Pension Funds do not have Public Relation. Nevertheless, organizations that possess them design structures and actions appropriated to the fulfillment of its institutional role, in line with Professor Martinez proposals. However, currently, the research returns the perception that Public Relation is still an area not well appraised by the Privately- Held Pension Funds. / As Assessorias de Imprensa nas Entidades Fechadas de PrevidÃncia Privada (EFPC) sÃo o foco desta pesquisa, especificamente no que concerne à sua implantaÃÃo e administraÃÃo, à luz de proposiÃÃes elaboradas pela Professoa Maria Regina Esteves Martinez. Teoricamente, sÃo apresentados estudos referenciais sobre PrevidÃncia Social e Complementar, Marketing, ComunicaÃÃo, Assessoria de ComunicaÃÃo e Assessoria de Imprensa. Em pesquisa de campo, do tipo levantamento, foram envolvidas 83 EFPCs, objetivando percepÃÃo quantitativa. O resultado demonstra que a maioria das EFPCs nÃo possui Assessoria de Imprensa. Todavia, as entidades que as tÃm possuem estruturas e aÃÃes apropriadas ao cumprimento do seu papel institucional, alinhados Ãs expectativas da Professora Martinez. Atualmente, entretanto, a pesquisa indica que a Assessoria de Imprensa à uma Ãrea ainda nÃo valorizada pelas EFPCs.

Este trabalho analisa as condições atuariais para criação do Fundo previdenciário federal (FUNPRESP) e como será o novo sistema previdenciário após o funcionamento desse Fundo que finalmente concluirá, em âmbito federal, as reformas iniciadas em 1998. A partir desse estudo concluímos que o novo sistema previdenciário, sistema misto, pagará benefícios menores para os servidores que ingressarem depois da criação do fundo quando comparados com os atuais servidores. Em razão disso os atuais servidores, analisando apenas os ganhos financeiros, não migrarão para o Fundo federal conforme é esperado pelo Governo. As mulheres receberão nesse novo sistema previdenciário benefícios menores em função do menor tempo de contribuição, expectativa de vida maior e menor taxa de crescimento salarial. Mas os grandes avanços com a criação do fundo serão o equilíbrio atuarial do sistema federal de previdência e o fim das grandes desigualdades entre esse sistema e o regime geral de previdência. A criação do Fundo fará com que os benefícios fiquem atrelados diretamente à contribuição de cada servidor, diferentemente do que ocorria antes quando os benefícios eram proporcionais à remuneração do servidor - até 2003 era equivalente a última remuneração e depois de 2003 é equivalente à média das 80% maiores remunerações. / The present work analyzes the actuarial conditions for the creation of the Brazilian Federal Social Security Fund (FUNPRESP) and how the new Social Security System will work after the effective functioning of the Fund. We could say that in the federal sphere it will finally finish off the reforms initiated in 1998. We conclude that the new Social Security System (called \"mixed system\") will provide lower payments to the beneficiaries who start to contribute after the creation of the Fund. In consequence, the current beneficiaries will not migrate to the new Federal Fund, as the government expects, because some simple analysis will make they conclude that they would incur into financial losses. Along with that, female beneficiaries will receive fewer benefits than men from that new Social Security System, basically for three reasons: a) their shorter time of contribution; b), their higher life expectancy; and c), the lower rate at which their payments actually grow. We also conclude that the real advantages brought by the creation of the Fund are: a) the actuarial equilibrium of the Federal Social Security System, and b) the end of the huge inequalities between that system and the \"general\" Brazilian Social Security System (INSS). The creation of the Fund will link the benefits directly to the contribution of each servant, as opposed to when benefits were proportional to the servant\'s pay (equal to it until 2003, or equivalent to the average of the 80% highest salaries).
