ABSTRACTThis paper examines the de-risking behaviour of defined benefit (DB) pension plans sponsored by U.S. firms. By analysing a range of strategies used in U.S. markets between 1994 and 2018, such as plan shifts, freezes, terminations, buyouts, buyins, and longevity hedges, we identify the key drivers and outcomes of pension de-risking.

AbstractArgonaute proteins (Agos), which use small RNAs or DNAs as guides to recognize complementary nucleic acid targets, mediate RNA silencing in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, Agos are involved in immunity: the short prokaryotic Ago/TIR–APAZ (SPARTA) immune system triggers cell death by degrading NAD+ in response to invading plasmids, but its molecular mechanisms remain unknown.
