ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

This webinar provided an in-depth discussion of new pension plan designs to minimize cost volatility and/or provide gain sharing. Presenters looked at some of the current variations of such plan designs explored and/or implemented in public, multiemployer, and single employer plans. While many options exist, even more creative plan designs could be explored including those that might achieve additional desired objectives if enabling legislation were enacted. Potential public policy measures to make these plans work better and expand the universe of allowable options were identified.

This webinar was the first of a two-part series that to explore this topic in depth. The second part will present a soon-to-be-released Academy practice note on the details of how to value these types of plan designs for funding and accounting purposes.
