Our CGA Services Answer the Following Questions
- What are the demographics of our annuity pool?
- What is the probability of exhaustion for each of the annuities?
- What are the projected cash flows and balances given various
investment and longevity assumptions? - Where are our major potential problems?
- Analyze and quantify internal mortality and investment risk of
self-insuring contracts - How can we develop policies and procedures to mitigate risks
and maximize investment returns? - How do we determine when and where to use reinsurance?
Life Income Risk Management Analytics Suite (Patent-Pending)
Our principals recently invented the Life Income Risk Management
Analytic Suite. Our proprietary CGA risk management
models/algorithms/formulas determine the overall pool’s health;
exhaustion probabilities using sensitivity analysis; optimal asset
allocations given the characteristics of the annuitants; risk
retention/reduction/transfer thresholds and policy implications; and
optimal strategies for “underwater” annuities. This analysis is
beneficial for any CGA pool; however, it is specifically designed for
pools greater than $10 million.
This tool uses a proprietary gift annuitant life expectancy table to more
precisely measure CGA liabilities. The 15-step patent-pending
business process employs a series of formulas to analyze 10
dimensions of risk and then offers customized policy
recommendations to optimize ending balances while minimizing
risks. The report is specifically designed to be developed
collaboratively with the charity’s gift annuity investment manager.
Final Report and Pricing
The customized report generally includes 20-40 pages of information
and 15-20 graphical pages (approximately 30 different charts).
This service is offered at 5-10 basis points (5 to 10/100ths of 1%)
based on the number of annuitants, size of the pool, complexity of the
project and the monitoring schedule. The minimum annual fee is
$7,500.
| "Charitable Solutions analysis of our gift annuity pool gave us peace of mind and helped fine-tune our approach. The CS method uses hard data, sound quantitative concepts, and has no preconceived notions of how a gift annuity pool should be invested and risk managed. It is a client centered approach." David W. Brown, Ph.D., CFP Director of Planned Giving Georgia State University |
