Webinar | What is a Cash Balance Pension Plan?

Written by Telemus | Nov 19, 2021 6:17:15 PM

Traditional pension plans are falling out of favor. Companies that still offer pension plans are finding it increasingly difficult to fund employee pensions with set dollar amounts, and as a result, they are moving away from the traditional pension structure and turning to a new type of plan: Cash Balance Pension plans (CBPs). Cash balance plans offer a number of unique benefits, but it can be difficult to understand the unique complexities of CBPs. Telemus is here to help.

 

Telemus Senior Financial Life Advisor Bob Stone recently hosted a webinar on Cash Balance Pension plans with Brian Raymond, AIF®, CMFC®, CPFA®, CHSA®, Vice President of Business Development at Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group.

  • The 5 key advantages of Cash Balance Pension plans
  • The unique investment considerations of Cash Balance plans
