A Report from the Board of General Superintendents
It began in 1971
Who would begin an unfunded Pension Assistance Plan and provide benefits back to 1908? – We did!
2
How could a plan survive with no equity investing for the first 20 years of its life? – Ours did!
Could a plan become fully funded in just 29 years? – It happened! HOW?
Because
Little is much, when God is in it!
3
Your church stepped out on faith.
We’ve never missed a payment since the beginning in 1971!
Clouds on the Horizon

2002 began decade of disappointing investment returns – from 7% to 5.6%“Bear” markets in 2002 and 2003 eroded trust assets of every pension plan, public or private.
During this period, P&B subsidized deficiencies from its own reserves.
A Perfect Storm
More clergy began moving into retirement
5
Increased life expectancy
During this decade, P&B raised payouts to beneficiaries twice.
Increased financial pressure was felt by local churches, districts, etc.

BGS RECOMMENDATION ON P&B
9
• The BGS consulted with U.S. DS’s, the Council on Higher Education, Dr. Don Walters, P&B Board members, & actuarial firm of Towers & Watson
BGS Recommendations
Increase the budget formula for P&B from 2% to 2.25% effective April 1, 2012, reduce from 2.5% to 2.25% for universities. This would result in a net increase for P&B of $1.4 million.
Capital Reserve Fund and supplemental earnings could contribute $2 million. 11
BGS Recommendations
P&B department savings = $250,000 annually.
U.S. Region-wide emphasis on 100% payment of all budget allocations. This could result in an $1.2 million.
These timely measures could result in an additional $4.85 million per year.
12
BGS Recommendations
We appeal to every local church to pay 100% of their WEF, District, P&B, and Educational “shares for others.”
We honor NNU for accepting a decrease in their funding apportionment to help us meet this immediate need. Some districts and churches are attempting to continue 2.5% for NNU. 12
