The Hidden Risk in the World's Best Pension System
Bloomberg Businessweek Oct. 17, 2014
"Compared with defined-benefit plans in the U.S. -- rare, underfunded, and governed by accounting standards derided by almost every economist -- the Dutch pension system looks even better. It does have a weakness, though, one that's often overlooked, even though it may be the only aspect of the Dutch system that's likely to be adopted here: In the Netherlands, annual cost-of-living increases depend (PDF) on the health of the pension's balance sheet. If returns fall, benefits don't increase. If the fund performs badly enough, pensioners may even suffer benefit cuts."
