Analysis of Recent Equable Institute Report: 'State of Pensions 2020' (PDF)
National Association of State Retirement Administrators [NASRA] Link to more items from this source
[Opinion]
Sept. 16, 2020

"Although organizing public pension plans into groups can be helpful, the value of such a grouping effort lies in the reliability and integrity of the metrics that form the basis of the classification system.... Although the actuarial funded ratio is the most popular and recognized metric of a pension plan's condition, this metric, by itself, is not a reliable indicator. Gauging the condition of a pension plan by its funding ratio alone is akin to assessing a person's health solely by their heart rate, when, in fact, multiple other factors should also be considered."
