LVVal

Comprehensive Defined Benefit Valuation System

LVVal is a complete defined benefit valuation system designed for small, medium, and large pension plans and is capable of valuing single employer, multi-employer, government, not-for-profit, and nonqualified plans. Most plans can be valued by the parameter driven menus. Unusual plan features can be handled with our entry point programming (EPP) which adds unlimited flexibility. The valuation system also includes several utilities such as:

• data verification and analysis;
• tracking and reconciling plan assets;
• post-valuation processing of IRS minimum and maximum contributions, PBGC premiums, and accounting expense and disclosures, supporting information for government filings, and client actuarial reports;
• actuarial equivalence factors for determining optional payment forms and cost factors for validating results; and
• Social Security on an individual basis or PIA tables based on dates of birth and projected salaries.

Participant data can be imported directly into the LVVal database or accessed from LVAdmin, our defined benefit administration system. Liabilities generated by LVVal can be accessed by LVALM, our asset liability modeling system, if forecasts of future liabilities and plan costs are desired.
