    Episode 7: How VAPPs Mitigate Risks of Traditional DB Plans

    Get a crash course on Variable Annuity Pension Plans (VAPPs), a retirement plan design that some are calling the next big thing for addressing the retirement income gap for Americans.

Join podcast host Robert Krebner and Segal’s John Redmond, Midwest Retirement Practice Leader, for a lively conversation on how VAPPs are getting a fresh look — not only for the stability they offer but for the competitive edge in attracting and retaining top talent.

    Nondiscrimination Testing: Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them

    We take a closer look at nondiscrimination testing (NDT), a requirement that can be a thorn in the side of plan sponsors.   Even though these tests (to ensure plans don’t favor highly paid employees) are required for all ERISA retirement plans, they’re usually not top of mind for plan sponsors given all the other issues involved in managing a plan.   Get steps for avoiding common NDT headaches, the pitfalls of using inaccurate plan data, and what to do if you fail a test.
