The pension environment over the past year has been a challenge. Or has it? Investments were up, but interest rates came down. And COVID-19 has decreased U.S. life expectancy by one year in the first half of 2020.
And now we have the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. To help you understand the pension environment and evaluate your options, our speakers will discuss:
-
Key provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act and the choices facing plan sponsors
-
Illustrative examples and the impact of the available choices
-
The potential impact of COVID-19 on participant mortality and plan sponsor liabilities for 2021 and beyond
