U.S. pension deficit largest since WWII—Mercer
“The end of September marks the largest deficit since we have been tracking this information,” said Jonathan Barry, a partner in Mercer’s Retirement Risk and Finance business.
The aggregate deficit in pension plans sponsored by S&P 1500 companies increased by $134 billion during September, to $512 billion, as of September 30, according to new figures from Mercer.
The plan’s aggregate funded ratio was 72% as of September 30, compared to 79% at the end of August and 81% at the end of 2010. Mercer believes that the end-of-month pension funding levels for the S&P 1500 are at a post-World War II low.
