Activities
The Board of Trustees routinely monitors several items of interest to CORBE Members including:
- The overall financial health of Ericsson, Athene, and Banner:
- The industry buzz about Ericsson's future;
- The current trends in single company pension plans and annuities;
- The annuity industry health and interactions with State insurance safety nets;
- The overall trends in the funding level of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC).
This knowledge is used to inform members, to guide Trustee activities (including formal interactions with our legal counsel), and to prepare for potential changes if they occur.
