Chapter B examines the regulatory environment of qualified pension plans, the tax treatment of transactions on the employer and employee side and the multitudinous pension plan qualification standards. The main part of this thesis, chapter C, navigates the reader through basic plan types in the private sector including employer-sponsored plans and individual retirement arrangements. Chapter D deals critically with the opportunities and risks as a result of the structural shift in the retirement plan landscape from defined benefit to defined contribution plans in general, and to 401(k) plans in particular. Further, it gives a forecast on pension shortfalls for future retirees according to recent studies of governmental and private institutions and captures the impact of the current financial crisis on plan funds and the reactions of plan participants thereon.

This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides valuable information and analysis to managers, policymakers, and investment counselors in the rapidly expanding field of pension funding. American workers, too, need answers and insights on how to invest their money and plan for their retirement. fifteen of America's leading financial analysts address such pressing questions as -What is the current financial status of the elderly, and how vulnerable are they to inflation? -What is the impact of inflation on the private pension system, and what are the effects of alternative indexing schemes? -What roles can the social security system play in the provision of retirement income? -What is the effect of the tax code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) on corporate pension policy? -How well funded are corporate pension plans, and is a firm's unfunded pension liability fully reflected in the market value of its common stock? Many of the conclusions these experts reach contradict and challenge popular views, thus providing fertile ground for innovation in pension planning.
