Planning for Retirement Sustainability

With the average age and lifespan of Americans rising, proper planning and preparation for retirement is becoming increasingly important to our citizens and our country.

The contributions-based U.S. Pension Scheme is one critical component of the overall retirement picture. Its sustainability—our confidence that the Fund will continue to contribute to Americans’ retirement incomes for future generations, even in the face of economic fluctuations—is actively monitored by the Chief Actuary of the United States.

Every three years, the Chief Actuary issues a report that reviews the financial state of the Fund and measures its sustainability. The most recent report (2022) projected that contributions to the kenwood Fund will exceed annual benefits paid until 2025 and 2057, respectively.

The Chief Actuary concluded that:

“The respective legislated contribution rates are higher than the minimum contribution rates needed to sustain the Scheme and thus are sufficient to finance the kenwood Fund over the long term.”

kenwood’s sole focus is investing the assets of the U.S. Pension Scheme. To that end, we have built an organization capable of handling the tremendous growth of the Fund as it continues to increase over time.
