Título : Finance and Occupational Pensions : Theories and International Evidence Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Sutcliffe, Charles ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: London : Palgrave Macmillan UK Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Número de páginas: XIV, 317 p. 120 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-349-94863-5 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Finance Corporations Bank marketing Investment banking Securities Insurance Capital investments Investments and Financial Services Personal Finance/Wealth Management/Pension Planning Corporate Appraisal Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: Occupational pensions are major participants in global financial markets with assets of well over $30 trillion, representing more than 40% of the assets of institutional investors. Some occupational pension funds control assets of over $400 billion, and the largest 300 occupational pension funds each have average assets of over $50 billion. The assets of UK pension funds are equivalent to UK GDP, and US pension fund assets are 83% of US GDP. These statistics highlight the importance of pension funds as major players in financial markets, and the need to understand the behaviour of these large institutional investors. Occupational pensions also play an important, but neglected, role in corporate finance. For example, US company pension schemes account for over 60% of company market value, and yet they are often ignored when analysing companies. This book is based on the substantial body of evidence available from around the world on a topic that has become increasingly important and controversial in recent years. Written for practitioners, students and academics, this book brings together and systematizes a very large international literature from financial economists, actuaries, practitioners, professional organizations, official documents and reports. The underlying focus is the application of the principles of financial economics to occupational pensions, including the work of Nobel laureates such as Merton, Markowitz, Modigliani, Miller and Sharpe, as well as Black. This book will give readers an up-to-date understanding of occupational pensions, the economic issues they face, and some suggestions of how these issues can be tackled. The first section explains the operation of defined benefit and defined contribution pensions, along with some descriptive statistics. The second section covers selected aspects of occupational pensions. The focus of these first two sections is on the economic and financial aspects of pensions, accompanied by some basic information on how they operate. This is followed by three further sections that analyse the investment of pension funds, the corporate finance implications of firms providing pensions for their employees, and annuities.

Título : Sustainable Asset Accumulation and Dynamic Portfolio Decisions Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Carl Chiarella ; Semmler, Willi ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Chih-Ying Hsiao ; Mateane, Lebogang Editorial: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: Dynamic Modeling and Econometrics in Economics and Finance, ISSN 1566-0419 num. 18 Número de páginas: XVIII, 189 p. 67 illus., 22 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-662-49229-1 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Operations research Decision making Economics, Mathematical Economic theory Macroeconomics Economics Macroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Personal Finance/Wealth Management/Pension Planning Quantitative Finance Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods Operation Research/Decision Theory Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: This book examines sustainable wealth formation and dynamic decision-making. The global economy experienced a veritable meltdown of asset markets in the years 2007-9, where many funds were overexposed to risky returns and suffered considerable losses. On the other hand, the long-term upswing in the stock market since 2010 has led to asset price booms and some new, but also uneven, wealth formation. In this book a broader set of constraints and guidelines for asset management and wealth accumulation is developed. The authors investigate how wealth formation and the proper management of financial funds can help to adequately buffer income risk and obtain sufficient risk-free income at a later stage of life, while also being socially and environmentally sustainable. The book explores behavioral and institutional rules for decision-making that reflect such constraints and guidelines, without necessarily being optimal in the narrow sense. The authors explain the need for such a dynamic decision-making and dynamic re-balancing of portfolios, by putting forward dynamic programming as an approach to dynamic decision-making that can allow sustainable wealth accumulation and dynamic asset allocation to be successfully integrated. This book provides a clear and comprehensive treatment of asset accumulation and dynamic portfolio models with an emphasis on long term and sustainable wealth formation. An important concern in public debate is the sustainability of our economy and this book employs cutting edge quantitative techniques and models to highlight important facts that cannot be disputed under any reasonable assumptions. It has the potential to become a standard reference for both academic researchers and quantitatively trained practitioners. Eckhard Platen, Professor of Quantitative Finance, University of Technology Sydney, Australia This book should be read by both academics and practitioners alike. The former will find intellectually rigorous discussions and innovative solutions. The latter may find a few of the concepts a bit challenging. Yet, theory and technology are there to help simplify the work of those who worry about what time it is rather than how to make a watch--- but they do need a watch.

Título : Mutual Insurance 1550-2015 : From Guild Welfare and Friendly Societies to Contemporary Micro-Insurers Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Van Leeuwen, Marco H. D ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: London : Palgrave Macmillan UK Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Colección: Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance Número de páginas: XIII, 321 p. 3 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-137-53110-0 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Finance Insurance Finance--History Social history Welfare economics structure inequality Financial History Personal Finance/Wealth Management/Pension Planning Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice Structure, Inequality Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: In the modern Western world, we tend to be insured by the state or for-profit insurers. We have privileged this system over mutual or micro-insurance, whose long and rich history we tend to forget. Yet, mutual and micro-insurance is becoming increasingly important, both in the Western and in the non-Western world and bears re-examination. This book traces the track record of mutual insurance from 1550 to the present, examining provisions for burial, sickness, unemployment, old age, and widowhood. The author seeks to address such topics as the type of risks micro-insurance covered between 1550 and 2015; how it was organized throughout its history; who provided the coverage; and how contributions, benefit levels, and conditions have changed. Importantly, the author explores why this system has worked through, and endured, the test of time. Mutual insurance can, for instance, overcome classic insurance problems such as adverse selection and moral hazards. The author demonstrates that the study of the position micro-insurance historically assumed in mixed economies of welfare presents interesting lessons for today's insurance market, as well as for today's mutualism Nota de contenido: Chapter 1) Mutual Insurance -- Chapter 2) The Era of the Guilds: Mutual Insurance 1550-1800 -- Chapter 3) The Age of the Friendly Societies:Mutual Insurance in the Nineteenth Century -- Chapter 4) The Rise and Decline of Modern Trade Union Insurance, 1900-65 -- Chapter 5) New Initiatives, 1965-2015 -- Chapter 6) Principles and Practices of Mutual Insurance, 1550-2015 En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-53110-0 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=42008 Mutual Insurance 1550-2015 : From Guild Welfare and Friendly Societies to Contemporary Micro-Insurers [documento electrónico] / Van Leeuwen, Marco H.
