Communicating Pension Risk to DC Plan Members
The Chilean Case of a Pension Risk Simulator
The purpose of this paper is to discuss a few issues related to how best to communicate uncertainty about projections of future pension benefits to members of DC plans, and especially to present a pension risk simulator developed by the Chilean regulator (Superintendencia de Pensiones, SP) that addresses directly how to convey that uncertainty and aims at eliciting a pro-active response from individuals in terms of contributing more and for longer.
Keywords: communication, projections, financial education, uncertainty, pension risk simulator, pension benefit, pensions, defined contribution pension plans
