Sharp increase in both assets and liabilities for the pension world's $20 billion club
March 2011
Assets and liabilities grew dramatically in 2010 for the sixteen publicly listed U.S. corporations with pension liabilities over $20 billion. These corporations - which this Russell research labels the "$20 billion club" - now have a combined $740 billion of pension liabilities on their balance sheets, up from $700 billion last year. The value of their assets rose from $578 billion to $619 billion over the same time in 2010.

Please remember that all investments carry some level of risk, including the potential loss of principal invested. They do not typically grow at an even rate of return and may experience negative growth. As with any type of portfolio structuring, attempting to reduce risk and increase return could, at certain times, unintentionally reduce returns.
