(d) 年金 life annuity
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_annuity
(The instrument's evolution has been long and continues as part of actuarial science. Medieval German and Dutch cities and monasteries raised money by the sale of life annuities, and it was recognized that pricing them was difficult. The early practice for selling this instrument did not consider the age of the nominee, thereby raising interesting concerns. These concerns got the attention of several prominent mathematicians over the years, such as Bernoulli, de Moivre, Huygens, Halley and others[3]. Even Gauss and Laplace had an interest in matters pertaining to this instrument.)

(The FTSE 100 Index — also called FTSE 100, FTSE, or, informally, the 'footsie' (pronounced /ˈfʊtsiː/) — is a share index of the 100 most highly capitalised UK companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. Although FTSE is jointly owned by the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange, the initials are not an acronym and do not stand for 'Financial Times Stock Exchange." They are simply borrowed from FTSE's two parent companies. The index began on 3 January 1984 with a base level of 1000; the highest value reached to date is 6950.6, on 30 December 1999.)

My comment:
(a) 里卡尔多 Ricardo (first name of a Spanish speaking man)
(b) The quote somehow suggests a manager can not receive a pension but that a union member can. I am uncertain about the former. But the latter refers to multiemployer plans.
