Abstract
Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (DB) are affected by a lot of different risks able to put in danger the viability of the system. A solvency analysis seems therefore to be essential as in insurance but it must take into account the specificities of pension liabilities. In particular, pension funds are characterized by a long term aspect and a limited need of liquidity. In this perspective, the purpose of this paper is to combine the three major risks affecting a DB plan (market, inflation and longevity risks) and to look at their effect on the solvency of the pension fund.
