The information gathered from this survey can help answer the commonly-asked question: “Is my plan’s investment return assumption still reasonable?” Of course, there are many factors to consider when evaluating a plan’s investment return assumption, such as its asset allocation and the maturity of its participant population. Any of these factors can make the expected return for one plan very different from others. Therefore, this report does not opine on the reasonableness of any one plan’s investment return assumption. Nevertheless, we hope this report will be a useful resource for trustees, actuaries, and investment professionals alike.
Horizon Actuarial sincerely thanks the 17 investment advisors who participated in the 2012 edition of this survey.
