A Defined Contribution (DC) pension plan requires periodic contributions for a certain time in order to aggregate funds for the old ages. It enables the participant to pay a monthly/yearly premium whose valuation is done in financial markets. The choice of the market products (assets, bonds etc.) is processed by a centralized system at which a pension company/government has authority to manage the fund. Therefore, a risk management on the fund has to be taken into account. Such long term investment schemes are sensitive and prone to market risks. Additionally, a long-term planned funding might be distorted when premature terminations occur. For such cases, it is benefical for both parties (insurer and insured) to secure the fund in such a way that its return remains within the expected margins. We consider Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) strategy in a DC pension plan. We examine a model that the price dynamics of a risky asset and labor income process are defined by a continuous-time stochastic process and trading is restricted to discrete time scheme. An exotic option is proposed as cushion option to reduce the risk that the portfolio value comes under the floor which is known as gap risk in the literature. We analyze the effectiveness of derived cushion option on CPPI strategy in a DC pension plan by measuring its sensivity with respect to the parameters through Monte Carlo Simulation.

Neoliberal pension reform as a class project: the cases of Chile and Turkey Yılmaz Akın, Burcu Gökçe; Bedirhanoğlu Toker, Pınar; Department of International Relations (2014) The purpose of the thesis is to demonstrate the validity of David Harvey’s argument that neoliberalism is a class project in relation to the transformation of pension systems in the countries of the South that have been forced by the International Financial Institutions since the 1980s. The proposed reform has tried to be justified by a discourse that has emphasized the need for sustainable pension systems in the face of population ageing while population ageing has indeed been one of the most important dem...
Constant proportion portfolio insurance in defined contribution pension plan management TEMOÇİN, BÜŞRA ZEYNEP; Korn, Ralf; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2018-07-01) We consider the optimal portfolio problem with minimum guarantee protection in a defined contribution pension scheme. We compare various versions of guarantee concepts in a labor income coupled CPPI-framework with random future labor income. Besides classical deterministic guarantees we also introduce path-dependent guarantees. To ensure that there is no bias in the comparison, we obtain the optimal CPPI-multiplier for each guarantee framework via using a classical stochastic control approach.
Profit oriented disassembly line balancing Altekin, Fatma Tevhide; Kandiller, Levent; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005) In this study, we deal with the profit oriented partial disassembly line balancing problem which seeks a feasible assignment of selected disassembly tasks to stations such that the precedence relations among the tasks are satisfied and the profit is maximized. We consider two versions of this problem. In the profit maximization per cycle problem (PC), we maximize the profit for a single disassembly cycle given the task times and costs, part revenues and demands and station costs. We propose a heuristic solu...
Uncertainty assessment for the evaluation of net present value of a mineral deposit Erdem, Ömer; Güyagüler, Tevfik; Department of Mining Engineering (2008) The profitability of a mineral deposit can be concluded by the comparison of net present values (NPV) of all revenues and expenditures. In the estimation of NPV of a mineral deposit, many parameters are used. The parameters are uncertain. More accurate and reliable NPV estimation can be done with considering the related uncertainties. This study investigates the probability distributions of uncertain variables in estimation of NPV and evaluation of NPV using Monte Carlo simulation. @Risk 4.5.7 software pack...
Measuring longevity risk on second pillar pension system: Turkey case Açıkgöz, Gözde; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Department of Actuarial Sciences (2018) Pension systems, that have had the brightest period almost all over the world after World War II, began to have some difﬁculties with accessing maturity times of these systems. Financial crisis and doubts about the sustainability have caused countries to revise their pension systems. As a result, many countries have applied multi pillar pension system which was developed by the World Bank in 1994. Second pillar pension system (SPPS) is the second step of the multi pillar pension system. Today, longevity ris...
