Of all the types of qualified benefit and retirement plans, none has exhibited such explosive growth over the past decade as the 401(k) plan. Fueled by employers’ desire to reduce the costs and responsibilities associated with providing retirement plan benefits to their employees, the 401(k) plan is quickly becoming the dominant corporate retirement vehicle among U.S. employers. Yet, while 401(k) plans initially appeared to be less burdensome than other pension plans, plan sponsors and advisors have realized that the scope and nature of their responsibilities under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code are detailed and extensive.
The 401(k) Plan Management Handbook is a comprehensive guide to setting up and managing a 401(k) plan from plan design and legal compliance issues to hiring a 401(k) plan consultant. Specific topics addressed include: the 401(k) marketplace, problems and issues, designing and establishing a 401(k) plan, 401(k) regulatory basics, understanding nondiscrimination & testing requirements, plan administration and participant recordkeeping, fiduciary responsibility, asset management, managing GICs, participant communications, selecting a 401(k) service provider.
Pension expert Jeffrey M. Miller examines, in detail, the major issues driving the 401(k) marketplace today: participant communications, fiduciary responsibility and plan recordkeeping. Special attention is also focused on managing fiduciary risk in participant-directed plans. And finally, the book closes with a blueprint for developing the next generation 401(k) program – one that meets all the challenges of this dynamic market.
Whether a plan sponsor or advisor, it is vital to understand the recent developments in the 401(k) plan marketplace. The 401(k) Plan Management Handbook is the guide for anyone involved in pension benefits.
