ERM Challenges for the Industry – ERM Challenges for the Industry – Results from 2003 Survey* Results from 2003 Survey*
53% of companies are still using static, single-point estimates for projections.
33% of companies have an integrated model that handles both assets and liabilities. 13% use a fixed yield to represent the expected
portfolio return.38% of companies don't forecast results within an
accounting framework. Only 25% include tax effects.
35% can drill into their assumptions and business logic.
*Results from SS&C Technologies’ Planning & Forecasting Survey, published Friday, May 30, 2003 - Volume III, Issue X
ERM Industry Favorable Result ERM Industry Favorable Result from 2003 Survey* from 2003 Survey*
Functional participation in planning is good, with 47% of companies having two to four functional areas involved in the process and 53% having over five areas represented. Finance and Accounting are best represented.

Risk Adjusted Assets...Risk Adjusted Assets... Actual attributes for portfolio holdings should be
accounted for in an ERM model (e.g., modeled proxies or CUSIP level of detail)
If proxies are used, then they should be defined with current portfolio attributes (e.g., duration, yield, coupon, term, etc.)
