Pension Funding Index, August 2010
12 August 2010
After three months of declines, funded status for the 100 largest corporate defined benefit pension plans increased by $25 billion in July, according to the Milliman 100 Pension Funding Index (PFI). The improvement is due largely to good performance in the financial markets. A $32 billion boost in market value in July pushed the Milliman 100 PFI asset value up to $1.093 trillion, compared with $1.061 trillion at the end of June.
