You’re in the driver’s seat
Individual entitlements
The Cash Balance plan allows you to decide the amount and the return that you want to award to your staff members. The return may be a fixed percentage, or the return of a financial instrument or index such as OLO linear bonds. Every month a savings amount will be deposited on a notional account in the name of the member, the virtual piggybank of your staff member. This amount will increase in step with the return that you award.
Collective financing
In contrast the financing of these individual entitlements is of a collective nature. Periodically you will remit allocations to a collective financing fund. Depending on your appetite for risk, you then choose how to invest these allocations/remittances:
Branch 21, with a guaranteed return.
Branch 23, without a guaranteed return, in a mix of shares, bonds, cash and real estate.
So you decide the investment strategy, taking into account the return that you guarantee your staff members, the risk profile of the funds chosen and any safety margin or buffer that you want to build up.
Enjoy an investment buffer thanks to a good investment strategy.
Retain control over your periodical remittances.
With a well thought-out investment strategy, it is perfectly possible that the reserves accrued by your financing fund will be higher than what you promised your staff members.
This
investment buffer gives you two choices:
You keep the surplus and may use it later whenever you choose. In the meantime, you pay a minimum allocation and the surplus goes on increasing according to the return of your financing fund.
You stop making contributions until the surplus has disappeared. You will then enjoy a
'contribution holiday'.
Integrating Cash Balance in a Cafeteria Plan allows your staff members to make their own choices.
Give your staff members freedom
Integration in a Cafeteria Plan
It is simple to integrate the cash balance in a Cafeteria Plan.
It's up to you to decide:
the budget allocated to the group insurance
the return you wish to guarantee
the types of risk coverage you want to offer (financed within or outside the budget)
the various options for your staff members in terms of the risk coverage.
The member can subsequently make choices: he/she can decide, within the limits set by you, about the level of risk coverage such as death cover or a disability pension.
Cash advances
Another option is to allow your staff members to take out a
cash advance
on their supplementary pension benefits. They can apply a portion of their accrued pension reserves towards
buying or remodeling real estate or to pay off a mortgage loan, long before they reach retirement age.
