''Pensions.''


Medium to longer term borrowing by a non-financial undertaking to meet its operational needs.
The relationship at a specified date (often the valuation date) between the value of the assets and the value of the liabilities of a defined benefit pension scheme, often expressed as a ratio (the ‘funding ratio’).


The funding level is frequently expressed as a percentage.


2.


More generally, the provision or the sources of finance necessary for the continuing operation of an undertaking.
'''Example'''


In this context, sources of finance for non-financial organisations would include creditors, bank lenders, bondholders and shareholders.
When assets = 100


Liabilities = 90


3. ''Pensions.''
The funding level is:


The provision in advance for future liabilities in a defined benefit pension scheme by the accumulation of assets.
90 / 100


= 90%.


4. ''Banking.''


In the banking context, sources of funding include retail customer deposits and equity, as well as wholesale and longer term borrowings.
(Not to be confused with the ''deficit'', which in this example is 100 - 90 = 10.)
 
Banks' funding - very broadly - can be categorised as 'own funds' or 'borrowed funds'.

Pensions.

The relationship at a specified date (often the valuation date) between the value of the assets and the value of the liabilities of a defined benefit pension scheme, often expressed as a ratio (the ‘funding ratio’).

The funding level is frequently expressed as a percentage.


Example

When assets = 100

Liabilities = 90

The funding level is:

90 / 100

= 90%.


(Not to be confused with the deficit, which in this example is 100 - 90 = 10.)
