Course Overview

What is a defined–benefit plan?

A defined-benefit plan is an employer-sponsored retirement plan where employee benefits are computed using a formula that considers several factors, such as length of employment and salary history. The company is responsible for managing the plan's investments and risk and will usually hire an outside investment manager to do this. Typically, an employee cannot just withdraw funds as with a 401(k) plan. Rather they become eligible to take their benefit as a lifetime annuity or in some cases as a lump sum at an age defined by the plan's rules.

The various pay- and service-related benefit formulae, plan funding obligations, investment choices and risks, distribution strategies, and plan termination are all topics covered in this CPE webinar for plan sponsors. You will gain a fundamental grasp of defined benefit plans for family companies and high-income independent contractors during this webinar.

In this CPE course, the fundamental provisions of a defined benefit plan, funding, and benefit concepts are summarized and explained. Examples and a study of alternative defined benefit plan structures are also included.

Major topics covered in this CPE Finance webinar:

  • Basics of defined benefit plan
  • Non-Traditional Defined Benefit Plans
  • Floor Offset Defined Benefit Plan
  • Overfunded Defined Benefit Plans
  • Qualified Replacement Plan
  • SECURE 2.0 Changes

At the end of this CPE webinar, attendees will have a clear understanding of the operation of defined benefit plans allowing them to more effectively advise clients and make recommendations.
