Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Retirement Benefits | Retirement Benefits The Company maintains qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for its U.S. and non-U.S. eligible employees. The Company’s policy for funding its tax-qualified defined benefit retirement plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to meet the funding requirements set forth by U.S. law and the laws of the non-U.S. jurisdictions in which the Company offers defined benefit plans. The weighted average actuarial assumptions utilized to calculate the net periodic benefit cost or credit for the U.S. and significant non-U.S. defined benefit plans are as follows:
Combined U.S. and significant non-U.S. Plans | Pension Benefits |  |
March 31, | 2025 |  | 2024 |  |  |  |
Weighted average assumptions: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Discount rate | 5.36 | % |  | 4.95 | % |  |  |  |
Expected return on plan assets | 5.43 | % |  | 5.44 | % |  |  |  |
Rate of compensation increase * | 3.16 | % |  | 3.16 | % |  |  |  |
(*)There are no rate of compensation increase assumptions for the primary U.S. defined benefit plans since future benefit accruals were discontinued for those plans after December 31, 2016 and earned benefits are not subject to final salary level adjustments. The target asset allocation for the U.S. plans is 50% equities and equity alternatives, and 50% fixed income. At March 31, 2025, the actual allocation for the U.S. plans was 50% equities and equity alternatives, and 50% fixed income. The target allocation for the U.K. plans at March 31, 2025 is 12% equities and equity alternatives, and 88% fixed income. At March 31, 2025, the actual allocation for the U.K. plans was 10% equities and equity alternatives and 90% fixed income. The Company's U.K. plans comprised approximately 78% of non-U.S. plan assets at December 31, 2024. The assets of the Company's defined benefit plans are diversified and are managed in accordance with applicable laws and with the goal of maximizing the plans' real return within acceptable risk parameters. The Company uses threshold-based portfolio re-balancing to ensure the actual portfolio remains consistent with target asset allocation ranges. The net benefit cost or credit of the Company's defined benefit plans is measured on an actuarial basis using various methods and assumptions. The components of the net benefit credit for defined benefit plans are as follows:
Combined U.S. and significant non-U.S. Plans |  |  |
For the Three Months Ended March 31, | Pension Benefits
(In millions) | 2025 |  | 2024
Service cost | $ | 6 |  |  | $ | 6 |
