What Is IBM Doing with Its Retirement Plans? and Why?
Alicia H. Munnell, Center for Retirement Research [CRR] at Boston College 
[Opinion] Nov. 28, 2023 "IBM held a surplus of about $3.5 billion in its DB plan, while it paid out $550 million annually in its matching contributions to the 401(k). Faced with no funding requirements for its over-funded plan, IBM can use the $3.5 billion surplus to pay for the 5-percent annual contributions for at least the next 6 or 7 years -- improving its bottom line by $550 million each year.... [T]his clever maneuver -- while leaving employees worse off -- certainly benefits shareholders." |
