Withstanding severe market declines
As too many would-be retirees now know, unstable global markets can destroy a lifetime of responsible saving. Milliman could have helped them. First introduced in 1998, Milliman's straightforward, transparent risk management methodology has withstood even the most severe market declines, including the 2000 tech sell-off and the global financial crisis.
Never before have individual investors faced such significant risk. The decline in traditional defined benefit pension plans over the last past few decades has led to increased investor vulnerability. This is especially true for those nearing retirement, where shifting market conditions can dramatically affect the income generating value of a lifetime of contributions. Milliman has developed proven solutions that can help.
The articles featured in this section demonstrate Milliman's extensive experience with the issues facing the retirement savings industry as well as financial risk management techniques and our time-tested methodology for protecting client portfolios.
