Stop Press!

 

1 Sep 2010: work has started on version 7 of GRM/OPD which will include a web based version of the program, as well as other new functionality! 

 

4 Jun 2010: how long does it take your pensions valuation software to run? OPD version 6.50 takes 30 seconds (including producing detailed output to Excel) to value a UK pension plan with more than 20,000 members.  OPD650 includes further significant improvements in speed, customisation and a new "Store valuation run automatically in batch file" in OPD650 - see here for screenshots and short video clips.

 

Our GRM/OPD software has support for yield curve valuations and automated production of results by member in drill down cashflows, screenshots can be seen here and here respectively.

 OPD590 Drilldown cashflows with results by individual 
New in OPD 5.90: the drilldown cashflow projection method has been improved to calculate and show present values (using any specified yield curve [NB using any primary yield curve only, i.e. any dual curve is ignored] for each individual member.  Simply select which set of detailed drilldown cashflows you want included in the output (NB past service values + future contribution rates will be calculated whichever of the 3 drilldown choices you select).

If (as will normally be the case) you are interested in a deterministic valuation which is comparable with the commutation factor or enhanced benefit valuation methods, answer No when asked if you want to perform a stochastic valuation.

In this example, 214,000 or so raw cashflows are produced by a past service valuation for our 700 member example pension plan, so we can output the results to an Excel 2007 file.  (NB the number of cashflows could be significantly higher for larger pension plans, or for situations where non zero withdrawal decrements apply at a large range of ages, due to a multiplier effect of exits from actives producing significant extra widow/widower cashflows - our example file assumes no withdrawals.  If the number of cashflows exceeds about 800,000, you may need to split the data up into several files to avoid running out of memory, or exceeding Excel 2007's 1.6m rows per worksheet).

If a yield curve has been specified for the primary basis in the selected Excel inputs file, the Summary sheet in the output file will draw attention to this.  (See this album for more information about valuations using yield curves in OPD.

The Summary worksheet of the output file includes, as well as the past service reserve, information about implied company contribution rates.
