The aim of this article is to develop a model that allows evaluating the effi ciency of a diversifi ed pension system fi nanced partly by a PAYG scheme and partly by capitalization. The efficiency is measured by the long-term sustainability of the system. We compare the sustainability of our model with the one of a pure PAYG system.
