Topic: Key Trends in Defined Benefit Plans: What Every Financial Advisor Should Know
Speaker: Andrew Ferguson, Partner, Altman & Cronin Benefit Consultants, LLC

Program Description: High-value defined benefit plans are now being installed and operated with great enthusiasm at partnerships, professional service firms, and small businesses. Most of these plans are cash balance plans – the fastest growing segment of the tax-qualified retirement plan market. Some researchers even project that the number of cash balance plans may exceed the number of 401(k) plans within the next several years. Come to this session and find out why!
