[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 527157, member: 9310"] Actuarial assumptions are of course made in estimating the liabilities of the fund. But how can you use them to change the present value of the fund's assets? Do you say, well, the market value of the plan's stock portfolio has dropped by 30%, but we have, say, a historical expectation of a 4% increase per year in the stock market, so we'll keep each $1B in stock we had last year on the books as $1.04B even if we can only sell it for $700M? Madness. [/QUOTE]
