emmetttrudy Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 A plan sponsor has approached us to do an illustration for a DB/DC combination of plans. They had previously met with a firm who discussed with them "backloading" the plans with almost $5 million in contributions to make up for the last 25 years of not contributing. For the life of me I can't remotely think what they might have been thinking about? Does anyone have the slightest idea what they might have been referring to with this comment?
david rigby Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Wow! Sounds like someone thinks the NC can include prior service cost. Probably not. Certainly, the benefit formula can be backloaded, but that word appears to have a different usage in your question. However, a better analysis would include more facts: how many partcipants are included in this design? relative number of HCEs/NHCEs? what type of formula? how many EEs are at the max? Etc. I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.
