White Paper: Concerns Regarding Spot Valuations and Back-End Smoothing (PDF)
American Benefits Council 
Apr. 13, 2005
5 pages. Excerpt: This paper discusses the critical need for predictability with respect to the application of the defined benefit funding rules and why proposals to use spot valuations of interest rates and assets lead to unmanageable unpredictability. The paper then discusses why 'back-end smoothing' proposals will not adequately address the need for predictability. The paper also includes a section that shows, based on historical data, that spot valuations are not accurate.
