The role of pension reserve funds in pay-as-you-go pension schemes financial sustainability

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the strategy followed by the Portuguese financial stabilization fund (FEFSS), along with investigating what would the situation be if a greater volume of transfers would have been performed or applied in alternative investments. In the first place, the study investigates the substantial literature related to the importance of pension reserve funds in the financial sustainability of the pay-as-you-go systems, as well as the influence of its management on reaching this goal. In order to proceed to the analysis of the performance of the Portuguese case, two different policies of stable transfers to the fund are contemplated. The simulation of the value of the fund coming from the application of these policies is then used to apply three different strategies of asset allocation. Two different time-frames are taken into account to perform the study: from 1989 to 2014 and from 1997 to 2014. The final results show that the proposed investment strategies increase the value of the portfolio, allowing to fulfill between the years of 2010 and 2012 the goal set by law: covering two years of pension needs. Thus, applying the strategies considered would increase the contribution of the fund to the financial sustainability of the pay-as-you-go system.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a estratégia seguida pelo fundo de estabilização financeira da segurança social (FEFSS), bem como investigar qual seria a situação atual do fundo caso um maior volume de transferências se tivesse verificado ou sido aplicado em investimentos alternativos. Numa primeira fase, o estudo analisa a extensa literatura referente à importância dos fundos de pensões na sustentabilidade financeira dos sistemas pay-as-you-go, assim como a influência da sua gestão no alcance deste objetivo. De forma a proceder à análise da performance específica do caso português, foram consideradas duas políticas alternativas de transferências estáveis para o fundo, utilizando a simulação do valor do fundo na aplicação em três estratégias de investimento distintas. As transferências foram aplicadas às taxas de retorno respetivas a dois períodos de tempo: de 1989 e 2014 e de 1997 a 2014. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que as políticas de investimento propostas aumentaram o valor do portfólio, cumprindo entre 2010 e 2012 o objetivo final definido por lei de cobrir dois anos das necessidades de pensões. Deste modo, aplicando as propostas consideradas verificar-se-ia um aumento da contribuição do fundo na estabilidade do sistema pay-as-you-go.
