With a global pandemic and financial market volatility, 2020 was an unprecedented year. Despite the turmoil of the past year and future economic uncertainty, most calendar-year multiemployer pension plans saw little change in their funding levels from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2021.
This survey includes nearly 200 calendar-year plans. That’s approximately one-half of all plans for which Segal is the actuary. As a group, these plans have more than $125 billion in assets, provide benefits to nearly 2.5 million participants and represent approximately 25 percent of all participants in multiemployer plans.
