French government prepares high-stakes pension reform

The French government is consulting unions and potential allies to see if it could get a highly unpopular pension reform adopted by a fragmented parliament without causing mass protests that could paralyse the country. Details of the reform are expected to be unveiled on Dec. 15 but President Emmanuel Macron has made clear the French will have to work longer, with legal retirement age potentially pushed by as much as three years to 65. Opinion polls show the vast majority...

U.S. corporate pension plans’ funding ratios remained over or near 100% in November

U.S. corporate pension plans' funding ratios remained over or near 100% in November, but four reports said ratios dropped slightly because rising discount rates offset strong investment returns for the period. The estimated funding ratio of the 100 largest U.S. corporate pension funds fell to 111.2% as of Nov. 30, down from 113.3% as of Oct. 31, according to the latest Milliman 100 Pension Funding index.
