  • Summary of Proposals for Actuarial Services to the Commission
    State of Minnesota \ LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION ON PENSIONS AND RETIREMENT TO: Members of the Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement FROM: Ed Burek, Deputy Director RE: Summary of Proposals for Actuarial Services to the Commission DATE: June 3, 2009 Introduction The 2008 Legislature (Laws 2008, Chapter 349, Article 10, Sections 7-9, and 17-18) revised the provision of actuarial services to the major public pensions plan administrations and to the Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement. The requirement that the pension funds jointly retain an actuary was revised by removing the joint actuary requirement. Instead, each plan system retains its own actuary. The Pension Commission was authorized to retain an actuary to audit or review the actuarial valuations, experience studies, and other reports and services provided by the actuaries retained the various pension plan governing boards. In late January 2009, the Pension Commission requested proposals from qualified actuarial consulting firms to provide a range of actuarial audit/review services to the Commission as specified in the Request for Proposal (RFP). Seven actuarial service firms responded to the RFP: Cheiron (pronounced ki′ ron), Deloitte, Gabriel Roeder Smith and Company (GRS), Hay Group, Kenney Consulting, Milliman, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Summaries of the proposals received are attached. The remainder of the cover memo briefly indicates the scope of the proposed tasks outlined in the RFP and makes a few observations on the received proposals. Proposal Requirements The Commission’s RFP requested actuarial audit/review services to be provided to the Commission. The RFP asked the firms to submit fixed fee compensation for the following purposes: 1.

With the risk environment more complex than ever and with the frequency and impact of disruption rising due to the confluence of changing geopolitical trends, technology disruption and rising stakeholder expectations, boards are looking for better ways to stay abreast of change or to get ahead of it. At the same time, while many companies have invested in basic internal risk controls, they are still blindsided by risk. These trends are creating tension among companies for the need to do something. Boards are increasingly questioning consultants on how to incorporate risk into the strategic agenda and make risk management more relevant and connected to the actual needs of the business in making decisive, bigger and faster bets on the future.
