Sección: ArtículosTítulo: A Savings plan with targeted contributions / Iqbal Owadally...[et.al]Notas: Sumario: We consider a simple savings problem where contributions are made to a fund and invested to meet a future liability. The conventional approach is to estimate future investment return and calculate a fixed contribution to be paid regularly by the saver. We propose a flexible plan where contributions are systematically adjusted and targeted. We show by means of stochastic simulations that this plan has a reduced risk of a shortfall and is relatively insensitive to errors in the planner's estimate of future returns. Sensitivity analyses in terms of parameter values, stochastic return models and investment horizons are also performed.Registros relacionados: En: The Journal of risk and insurance. - Nueva York : The American Risk and Insurance Association, 1964- = ISSN 0022-4367. - 02/12/2013 Volumen 80 Número 4 - diciembre 2013 Otras clasificaciones: 1Derechos: In Copyright (InC)Referencias externas:
