Mercer Launches Funded Status Monitor

03 July 2012 (PLANSPONSOREurope.com) - Mercer has launched a new real-time daily funding monitoring service providing plan sponsor representatives and trustees with a daily update of the pension scheme's asset and liability values.

The Funded Status Monitor (FSM) enables plan sponsors to work in partnership with trustee boards with each able to monitor and project the financial position on assumptions appropriate for their needs - as well as understanding the viewpoint of each other, for example, the impact on the projected company balance sheet in 5 years' time using either current market conditions or a possible future scenario can be compared with the impact of cash contribution requirements under the Trustees' recovery plan.
