PUBLIC SERVICE SUPERANNUATION FUND. ACTUARIAL EXAMINATION AS AT 31st MARCH, 1930.

Laid before Parliament in pursuance of Section 49 (4) of the Public Service Superannuation Act, 1927.

REPORT BY THE ACTUARY APPOINTED BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL TO MAKE THE ACTUARIAL EXAMINATION OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE SUPERANNUATION FUND.

Government Actuary's Department, Wellington, 25th November, 1931. ] I have the honour to submit the following report on the Public Service Superannuation Fund as at the 31st March, 1930, as required by section 49 of the Public Service Superannuation ' '2. The scheme, which came into operation on the Ist January, 1908, embraces, with the few exceptions set out in section 54 of the Act, all permanent publij servants outside the Government Railways Superannuation Fund and Teachers' Superannuation Fund. 3. "The contributions and the benefits provided by the Act, together with the statements showing the progress of active membership, discontinuance of membership from various causes, and the progress of pensions for each year, will be found in Tables I to IV of the appendix to this report. The ages of the contributors at the date of the valuation, together with their contributions and other particulars are shown in Table V ; and the pensions granted during the triennium, with the ages at which they were granted, in Table VI. 4. The income and outgo of the fund since the previous valuation w,ere as follow : — Consolidated Revenue Account of the Public Service Superannuation Fund from the Ist April, 1927, to the 31st March, 1930.

In this connection I would point out that the accounts of a superannuation fund are obviously not designed to show the annual profit or loss of the fund, nor does the balance-sheet make any pretensions to show, the real contingent liabilities of the fund m connection with pensions or other benefits. Under the circumstances, no good purpose is served by so understating the funds, and the Board is recommended to bring its accounting methods into line with the world-wide practice of financial institutions controlling life-assurance and other funds whose liabilities involve contingencies which cannot be measured by ordinary accountancy standards. I—H. 26a.

6. Income. —On the income side the chief item requiring comment is the Government subsidy. Compared with the annual subsidies reported as necessary in the last actuarial report, the subsidies paid in during the triennium exhibit a shortage of approximately £500,000, apart from the loss of interest thereon. The effective r-ates of interest credited to the fund during each year of the triennium are given below together with those of the previous period for the purpose of comparison.

Outgo. —Eetiring-allowances are increasing, and will continue to do so for many years to come. It will be noted that the outgo for benefits during the triennium exceeds the total of the, contribution income and the Government subsidy, and is about 75 per cent, of the combined income from contributions, interest, and Government subsidy. As was pointed out in my last valuation, report, these high percentages are somewhat disturbing, since the liabilities are essentially of a deferred nature, and consequently funds should be increasing rapidly while the fund is young and the membership is expanding. Data. 8. The preliminary particulars required for this examination have been obtained from cards supplied by the Secretary of the Superannuation Fund—a separate card being compiled for each member who was in the Service at the valuation date or who had died or withdrawn since the inception of the fund —and these particulars form the main basis of this investigation and valuation. The Valuation. 9. The main object of an actuarial valuation is to ascertain whether the current funds, together with the present value of the future contributions, will be sufficient to meet the future liabilities. Before the valuation can be carried out it is necessary to make a careful estimate of the various factors on which the payment of the benefits and contributions is dependent. These factors may be briefly summarized as follow :■ — (a) Rate of interest; (6) Mortality-rates of pensioners ; (c) Average salary scales ; (d) Mortality-rates of contributors ; (e) Voluntary-withdrawal rates of contributors ; (/) Retirement-rates of contributors; (y) Marriage-rates of contributors ; (h) Probability of a member leaving children under fourteen years of age, and the average number of such children; (i) Remarriage-rates of members' widows. 10. The rate of interest used in valuing benefits and contributions was 4| per cent., as the fund is State-guaranteed. 11. The mortality-rates adopted for pensioners were those used in the previous valuation, and were based on an investigation of the combined experience of the three Government Superannuation Funds (Public Service, Railways, and Teachers) for the period 1919-1927. 12. Average salary scales in respect of males and females separately were constructed for the year immediately following the valuation date, and the resulting ratios of increase from age to age were applied to the actual salary of each contributor as at the Ist April, 1930. 13. The rates of mortality, withdrawal, and retirement of male contributors used in the valuation were based on an examination of the fund's experience during the triennium under review, together with that of each of the two preceding triennia. As regards mortality, the experience of the whole three triennia was employed as the larger total of deaths recorded could reasonably be expected to minimize the efiect of fluctuations, and so yield more reliable averages for each age. The rates of withdrawal adopted were based solely on the experience of the triennium under review, as it was found that they showed a progressive decline during the three valuation periods. The retirements were again heavy between ages 50 and 59, and as attention has been called in the last two actuarial reports to this feature and to the serious financial effect on the fund of its continuance, the practice of retiring irrespective of age a considerable number of officers with from thirty-five to forty years' service must, for valuation purposes, be regarded as a permanent feature of the fund. The persistence of these heavy rates of retirement between ages 50 and 59 were, as might naturally have been anticipated, accompanied by a flattening of the rates at ages over 60, and this appears to suggest that in future the officers over age 60 retained in the Service will be largely composed of those with only short service to their credit. Rates of mortality, withdrawal, and retirement in respect of female contributors were constructed on similar principles.

Details of the Experience Tables adopted and the Life and Service Tables deduced therefrom are given in Tables VII and VIII of the appendix. 14. The factors necessary for the valuation of widows' and children's benefits were built up from population statistics combined with the experience of the fund itself. Kesults of Valuation. 15. The Act (section 49 (2) ) requires the actuarial report to be so prepared " as to show the state of the fund at the close of the period, having regard to the prospective liabilities and assets." The valuation has accordingly been made and the results are shown in Table IX of the Appendix, but they may be shortly summarized as follow : — £ £ Present existing pensions and allowances . . .. . . 3,375,540 Present value of prospective benefits .. .. .. 11,157,495 Less present value of members' contributions .. £3,208,114 And less present value of State subsidy under section 114 of the Act .. .. ... 570,978 3,779,092 7,378,403 Total net liabilities .. .. .. .. .. ..10,753,943 Funds in hand .. .. ... .. .. . • 2,882,504 Present value of total liability of State .. .. .. .. •• 7,871,439 Less present value of present subsidy of £86,000 (if treated as a perpetuity) 1,911,111 Value of future subsidies to" be provided for by the State over and above the present subsidy of £86,000 .. .. .. .. .. .. £5,960,328 16. The above statement shows a total State liability of £7,871,439, as compared with £6,659,770 at the last valuation, giving an increase of £1,211,669. This increase is mainly due to the accumulation at interest of that part of the State's liability which is unprovided for, and to the number of retirements of comparatively young officers with long service being in excess of the valuation assumptions. 17. As regards the first-mentioned source of valuation loss, it is scarcely necessary to point out that if a fund is in deficiency at one valuation, the amount of the deficiency at the succeeding valuation will, all other things being equal, increase at compound interest, since, in addition to the shortage in capital, the fund is deprived of the interest which that capital would have earned daring the. valuation period. Reference has been made in previous valuation reports to the serious drain on the fund due to early retirements from causes other than medical unfitness. While in the case of those officers who are retired at ages ranging from 55 to 60 after completing forty years' service, the additional liability is self-evident not only from the greater number of years during which the Superannuation Fund is called upon to pay pensions, but also from the loss of contribution income until age 65, there appears to be a popular and fairly prevalent impression in many quarters that in the case of officers retired after thirty-five years' service, the fund is fully compensated by the fact that the pension is based on thirty-five-sixtieths of salary instead of the maximum of forty-sixtieths. It may not be out of place therefore, for me to state that in spite of the smaller annual pension, the net liability to the Superannuation Fund in respect of the retirement of a physically fit officer with thirty-five years' service is on the average at least 30 per cent, in excess of the net liability in respect of the same officer for a full pension after completing forty years' service. 18. The importance of the ascertainment of the state of the fund in the form given in paragraph 15 lies in the fact that the shortage in the fund to be made good by the State —viz., £7,871,439 — is equivalent to an annual interest income (at 4| per cent.) of £354,215. It follows that if any less annual sum than £354,215 is paid in by the State as subsidy the total deficiency will increase, and the subsidy must accordingly by way of compensation rise later on to a much higher figure, than £354,215 per annum in respect of present contributors alone. If, however, any annual amount in excess of £354,215 is paid in, the fund would, in respect of present members, attain solvency within a definite period of time. It should be clearly understood that this amount of £354,215 is a perpetuity, and does not cease with the lifetime of the present members, nor does it include any subsidy to new entrants. Ascertainment or State Subsidy. 19. The Act, however, does not provide that the subsidy should be determined from the foregoing actuarial ascertainment. It directs the Actuary to show in his report " the probable annual sums required by the fund to provide the retiring and other allowances falling due within the ensuing three years without affecting or having recourse to the actuarial reserve appertaining to the contributors' contributions." I take this to mean that as the contributions are insufficient to provide the full benefits for service after joining the fund, the principle underlying the section is that the State shall postpone till it emerges the liability for pensions arising out of service before joining the fund, and for such part of the pensions arising out of subsequent service as is not covered by the contributors' contributions.

I estimate the pensions falling due during the financial years 1930-31, 1931-32, and 1932-33, the amounts provided by the contributions, and the subsidies payable on the basis laid down by the Act, to be as follow :— 1930-31. 1931-32. 1932-33. fi £ £ Estimated pensions .■. .. .. .. 385,447 394,189 406,900 Amount provided by contributions .. .. 141,180 147,362 155,060 Amount due to be paid by the State in respect of the three years mentioned (but see also next paragraph) .. .. .. ..244,267 246,827 251,840 20. The above figures would give for the years 1930-31, 1931-32, and 1932-33 an average subsidy of approximately £248,000 per annum, or £162,000 more per annum than is at present being paid. The following considerations, however, must be taken into account: — (a) The actuarial recommendations made in the past in pursuance of the Act have not been fully carried out, the actual payments into the fund to the 31st March, 1930, being short by £1,301,000 of the amounts recommended. From Table X of the Appendix it will be seen that this shortage, accumulated at 4| per cent, interest to the end of this year, amounts to £1,776,357, and I consider that at least £80,000 per annum will require to be added to the future subsidies on this account. (6) The State subsidy should also provide year by year the amount charged to the superannuation fund in administration expenses, less possibly the amount of commission due in connection with investments which might be regarded as a deduction from interest. The payment of expenses from the fund is a definite departure from the original scope of the superannuation scheme, and my interpretation of section 49 (2) of the Act is that expenses amounting to say £4,000 per annum should form part of the subsidy. 21. Ī have therefore to report that in accordance with the system laid down by the Act the annual subsidy required for each year of the period ending 31st March, 1933, is as follows : — £ Subsidy now being paid .. .. . . . , , . .. 86, 000 Further annual subsidy required — £ Paragraph 20.. .. .. .. .. .. 162,000 Paragraph 20 (a) .. .. .. .. ..80,000 Paragraph 20 (b) .. .. .. .. .. 4,000 246,000 Annual subsidy required for the years 1930 31, 1931-32, and 1932-33 .. £332,000 When making provision for this annual subsidy it is important to see that it is back-dated to 1930, and that interest at the rate of 4§ per cent, per annum is added to any portion paid late. 22. In my last actuarial report I drew attention to the method laid down by the Act of arriving at the State's subsidy, and suggested in lieu thereof an automatic basis which, although requiring increased payments at the outset, would minimize the rate of increase in future subsidies. It is not necessary to add anything further to the remarks made in that report, beyond pointing out that the suggested subsidy of 8 per cent, of the salary roll would now need to be increased by reason of the short-payment in subsidies during the intervening three years. 23. Should it be desired to go further than I have indicated so as to more rapidly redeem the deficiency, a higher subsidy could be fixed or alternatively, the fund could be strengthened by suitable amendments to the Superannuation Act. For example, the following alterations in the scheme would considerably lessen the liabilities of the fund without unduly prejudicing contributors : — (a) Modify the present right of members to retire by length of service by restricting it to those who have attained a specified age — e.g., age 60 in the case of males, and age 55 in the case of females — and also increase by 5 years the minimum age or length of service at which a female contributor has the right to retire. To enable the matter to be more readily visualized I have set down side by side the present position and that proposed : — Present Rights. Proposed Rights. Males. (i) After age 65. (i) After age 65. (ii) After forty years' service. (ii) After age 60 if combined with forty years' service, (iii) At any age if medically unlit. (iii) At any age if medically unfit. Females. (i) After age 55. (i) After age 60. (ii) After thirty years' service. (ii) After age fifty-five if combined with thirtyfive years' service, (iii) At any age if medically unfit. (iii) At any age if medically unfit.

(b) Eliminate all existing powers of extending the provisions of the Act to provide for early retirements. Such powers appear in the past to have been wrongfully regarded by contributors as options to retire with the Minister's consent, but were clearly designed to cover only exceptional cases. Some provision should, of course, be made to obviate possible hardship in the case of those compulsorily retired through no fault of their own, especially if such retirements arc the result of a general retrenchment policy. Two methods of meeting this contingency suggest themselves —namely, to grant pensions based on service on the understanding that the Consolidated Fund pays the necessary retiring-allowances until the attainment of the earliest normal retiring-age set out in (a) above ; or, secondly, to provide such actuarially calculated pensions as will throw no additional strain on the Superannuation Fund. It will be seen that the Superannuation Fund is safeguarded by either method, the only difference being that in the first case the extra liability is borne by the State and in the second case by the officer compulsorily retired. (c) (i) Alter the basis of calculation of " final salary " to the average salary of the last seven or ten years instead of three years as at present ; or (ii) Disregard for pension (and contribution) purposes any salary increases after a specified age, say age 55. Of these two the former has the merit of correlating to some extent the retiring-allowance and the average salary received in the years preceding retirement, while from the viewpoint of the fund the latter alternative has the advantage of being as effectual as the former in minimizing violent fluctuations in the pension liabilities due to salary increases immediately preceding retirement, and at the same time does not penalize those retiring medically unfit to the same extent as the former basis would. In making this suggestion I am fully conscious that it violates one of the canons of a good pension-fund scheme, but, having regard to the constitution of the Public Service Superannuation Fund, and its present parlous financial position, I feel compelled to recommend it for urgent consideration. General Eemaeks. 24. It is not my function to comment on policy matters, but I would be lacking in my responsibility if I did not enunciate the general principle that any additional financial strain on the Superannuation Fund due to policy measures of Government should be a charge on the Consolidated Fund by way of special subsidy. Such a method, I may mention, is followed in the South African Public Service Superannuation Scheme, where, if an officer is forced to retire on pension due to a retrenchment scheme or other policy measures, all pension payments up to the date of his attaining the normal pension age are paid out of public revenue, and not out of the Superannuation Fund. The Commonwealth of Australia safeguards its Public Service Superannuation Fund by fixing age 65 as the normal pension age, with provision that if any officer is retired after age 60, either compulsorily or of his own wish, he is granted a reduced pension actuarially calculated. It is important to note that, although the problem is approached from different angles, both Governments agree in recognizing that the Superannuation Fund must be financially safeguarded in the event of any departure from what might be termed its fundamental obligations to the contributors. 25. In conclusion, I have to acknowledge the assistance of the small but efficient staff engaged in carrying out the heavy work of the valuation. C.
