I never ran across anyone who would go to the trouble and expense (even if minimal) of setting up a plan with no current intention of making contributions or even allowing employee contributions. Why do they need a rollover vehicle? Aren't IRAs good enough? Years ago there was a bankruptcy protection advantage, but hasn't that disappeared since the 2005 bankruptcy law overhaul?
There are several reasons (for me).
(In no particular order)
1. Career. I may or may not be at my current company for the next 10 years or more. The CPC designation is a helpful line-item on a resume.
2. Professional. It can't hurt if and when I'm brought in to help woo potential clients.
3. Closure. It's a sense of "finish what I started."
4. Education. At least with the modules, I have a deeper understanding of some of the topics I deal with day-to-day.
5. Initials. The more the merrier!
