[Verse 1] There's a promise made to workers when they clock in every day A pension fund is waiting for their golden retirement day It's a pool of money growing, meant to pay them when they're old But managing this treasure takes a story to be told [Chorus] Assets minus liabilities, that's the status you need to see Funded ratio tells the tale, are we strong or are we frail? Over one hundred means surplus, under means we're in deficit Pension fund basics, got to know where the money fits [Verse 2] On one side we've got assets, investments that can grow Stocks and bonds and real estate, watch the portfolio flow On the other side liabilities, promises we must keep Present value of future payments, calculations running deep [Chorus] Assets minus liabilities, that's the status you need to see Funded ratio tells the tale, are we strong or are we frail? Over one hundred means surplus, under means we're in deficit Pension fund basics, got to know where the money fits [Bridge] When assets exceed what we owe, we're sitting pretty with surplus to show When liabilities are higher than our treasure, we've got a deficit we need to measure Actuaries calculate the numbers, making sure nobody slumbers On the health of pension plans, securing futures in their hands [Verse 3] Funded status changes daily with the markets up and down Interest rates and life expectancy spin the numbers all around A healthy fund means peace of mind for workers and their dreams But underfunded means trouble, nothing's quite the way it seems [Chorus] Assets minus liabilities, that's the status you need to see Funded ratio tells the tale, are we strong or are we frail? Over one hundred means surplus, under means we're in deficit Pension fund basics, got to know where the money fits [Outro] Remember the equation, it's the heart of what we do Assets minus liabilities, funded status sees us through Pension fund basics, keeping promises alive That's how retirement security helps us all to thrive
