pension shortfall
Definition
When a company that has a defined benefit pension plan does not have enough funds set aside to meet its pension obligations to retirees, it has a pension shortfall. A company with a defined benefit plan risks having a pension shortfall because stocks or other assets in their portfolio may not perform as well as expected and thus will not provide the capital that is needed.
