U.S. Plan Assets
The Plan’s assets are invested to maximize funded ratios over the long-term while managing the risk that
funded ratios fall meaningfully below 100%. This objective to maximize the plan's funded ratio is based on
a long-term investment horizon, so that interim fluctuations should be viewed with appropriate perspective.
The desired investment return objective is a long-term average annual real rate of return on assets that is
approximately 6.5% greater than the assumed inflation rate. The target rate of return is based upon an
analysis of historical returns supplemented with an economic and structural review for each asset class.
There is no assurance that these objectives will be met.
Non-U.S. Plan Assets
The objectives of the Non-U.S. plans are as follows: the acquisition of suitable assets of appropriate liquidity
which will generate income and capital growth which together with new contributions from members and the
employer will meet the cost of the current and future benefits which the Plan provides; to limit the risk of the
assets failing to meet the liabilities over the long term and; to minimize the long term costs of the Plan by
maximizing the return on the assets.
The following pension and other postretirement benefit payments (which include expected future service) are
expected to be paid in each of the following fiscal years.
