ACTUARIAL SERVICES
Cutting Through Complexity
Defined benefit plans, including cash balance plans, are powerful tools to significantly increase retirement savings and tax deductions. However, these tools have a host of complexities that 401(k) plans do not. At Michigan Pension & Actuarial Services, we believe the most important factor in a successful defined benefit plan is frequent communication with the plan’s actuary.
We do not just provide an annual valuation, a contribution range, and a signed tax form. We take time to explain these plans in language you understand.
This also holds for our TPA partners. Our consulting includes direct communication with the client and their advisors as part of our scope of services. No one wants a surprise in their retirement plan.
