The "Manual" also explains how to calculate the cost effectiveness of a plan's investment options through the use of the Active Management Value Ratio.

Studies and legal actions against such plans have consistently shown that the overwhelmingly majority of today's 401(k) and 403(b) plans are not cost-efficient and, thus, are not in the employees' best interests, The consistent underperformance and excessive costs of the investment options in most plans relative to comparable, less expensive index mutual funds.makes it imperative that plan sponsors and plan participants understand how to evaluate their plans and take the necessary steps to correct such problems and better protect their "retirement readiness" and overall financial security. The simple, yet effective, information and strategies outlined in this manual will allow them to do just that

Download or read book Estate Planning for IRAs And 401Ks written by James Blase and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commentators appear to be almost uniform in proclaiming the demise of so-called stretch IRAs and other defined contribution plan benefits, including 401Ks, after the SECURE Act was signed into law by the President in late December of 2020. Before 2020, designated beneficiaries could receive benefits from IRAs and 401Ks over their entire lifetimes. The new rule, however, is that, with certain exceptions (including a surviving spouses), the IRA and 401K benefits must be paid out within 10 years of the account owner's death. For example, a child having a 30-year life expectancy, who previously could have received the IRA or 401K benefits over 30 years, must now fully withdraw the benefits within 10 years of the account owner's death. Under the new law, not only must all of the tax on the IRA and 401K benefits be paid out much earlier than previously, but the income tax rate payable on the benefits will likely be much higher than it was before, because the taxable benefits will now be bundled into the recipient's or recipients' peak earning years. Written for individuals, advisors and attorneys alike, this new handbook addresses all of these issues, and presents stratgegies for minimizing the new SECURE Act income taxes on IRAs and 401Ks. The book concludes with an examination of drafting strategies attorneys and advisors can utilize for their clients in order to allow them to leave assets in trusts designed to protect their children, not only during the children's minority, but also during their adult years from potential issues such as divorce, lawsuits and estate taxes, all while continuing to minimize the children's exposure to "SECURE Act income taxes."
