Published by the Society of Actuaries, June 2010. This paper compares funding patterns resulting from the actuarial approach used by most public plans with patterns resulting from the “market value of liability” (MVL) approach. It finds the MVL approach would likely result in erratic changes to a public plan’s normal costs, accrued liabilities and funded levels. Authors: Norman L. Jones, FSA, Brian B.
