The value of Pension Guard

Many plan sponsors face major challenges in meeting the obligations of their defined benefit (DB) plans. Sustained low interest rates and lower-than-expected earnings jeopardize adequate plan funding, and administrative costs are rising steadily.

Pension Guard, an institutionally priced annuity, can help guarantee benefits and benefit options for participants under a terminated DB plan.
