In January 2010, the Pension Management Research Panel conducted a Quick Poll asking executives to identify their organization's top 10 pension priorities for the year. The poll shows that pension plan sponsors say their number one priority for 2010 is finding a way to control funded status volatility. Nearly all (91 percent) of poll respondents identified controlling volatility as a priority. One-third (33 percent) of all respondents said this was an "extremely high" priority, by far the highest percentage to do so for any priority in the poll.
The poll was completed by 54 executives overseeing pensions ranging from US $250 million to US $10 billion in assets. None of the poll respondents were from institutional clients of SEI. The poll asked respondents to identify priorities for the year and then to rank them as a "marginal", "high" or "extremely high" priorities.
