ASOP 4 | §3.17 | ALLOCATION PROCEDURE

When selecting a cost allocation procedure or contribution allocation procedure, the actuary should take into account the following:
a. the balance among benefit security, intergenerational equity, and stability or predictability of periodic costs or actuarially determined contributions;

b. the timing and duration of expected benefit payments;

c. the nature and frequency of plan amendments; and

d. relevant input from the principal, for example, a desire to achieve a target funding level within a specified time frame.
ASOP 4 | Commentary Section 3.17 | COMMENT ON SECTION 3.17
Section 3.17, Allocation Procedure
CommentResponse
One commentator felt section 3.17 should state that the actuary should “consider” the items listed, not that the actuary should necessarily “take them into account,” as some of them may not be necessary or appropriate to take into account (e.g., relevant input from the principal, potentially intergenerational equity).The reviewers disagree and made no change.
Congratulations! You're now Froogled Up™ on Section 3.17 from ASOP 4!

Feel free to use it throughout your financial/insurance life.

Sincerely,
