Milliman Retirement Town Hall
June 5, 2014
"Of those who do not have a retirement plan, 69% are not too confident or not at all confident [about a comfortable retirement].... It may well be that a good portion of that 69% has 401(k) or similar retirement savings vehicles available at their employers, but they are not utilizing them.... [E]mployers need to be continually encouraging their employees and educating them on the power of 'starting early,' the benefits of tax-deferred growth, and how they are leaving money on the table if there's a match."

"MyRA provides for a supplement to the current retirement system; the Retirement Security Act would modify it; the USA Retirement Funds Act would profoundly alter it. How? ... [All] employers with 10 or more employees would be required to offer a retirement plan with automatic enrollment and a lifetime income option."

Milliman Retirement Town Hall

"The [DOL] now offers a tool to help employees assess their paths toward providing for their retirements.... The tool makes a simplifying assumption that may cause employees to underestimate how much they will need at retirement. It assumes each employee will survive in retirement according to an average life expectancy (roughly age 85 to 90, depending on retirement age, gender, etc.).... Relying on any tool to calculate how much we can spend in retirement may cause our retirement account balances to run out sometime around our late 80s. What happens then?"

"[V]ariable annuity pension plans (VAPPs) are regaining interest for retirement plan sponsors because their structure combines many of the strengths of traditional defined benefit plans with the strengths of traditional defined contribution plans.... While the level of the benefit may not be guaranteed, stabilization strategies exist to dramatically reduce the possibility of retiree benefit declines and the participant does not need to worry about running out of money during retirement."

"There is no clear answer to the leakage problem in plans. A good retirement plan design can greatly influence the behavior of its participants. It has to include and encourage regular employer and employee contributions to help build retirement accounts. Withdrawal provisions and loans in plans don't signify poor plan design, but tighter administrative controls around the plan provisions, such as allowing only one in-service withdrawal per year, helps keep money in the plan."

"A recent global poll ... showed almost half of respondents would prefer a 'mandatory, government-imposed solution' to retirement savings. Following that, 22% of respondents chose an 'elective, whereby employees are automatically enrolled in private retirement plans but can opt out if they so choose' solution. Almost 70% of respondents want some form of automatic retirement plan entry. Even with a smaller survey population, that's a telling number."

"If tax rates increase and small business owners look at different alternatives to manage their tax liabilities, will we see changes to their retirement programs? In particular, will there be interest in adding a tax-advantaged cash balance plan to their existing 401(k) profit sharing plan, or perhaps adding a newly minted DB(k) plan for those without retirement programs?"
