Admin316 Fiduciary & Compliance Oversight
Comprehensive Cash Balance Plan Management
At Admin316, we specialize in Cash Balance Plan administration that goes beyond basic recordkeeping. As a named ERISA §3(16) Plan Administrator and §402(a) Fiduciary, our team provides full fiduciary oversight, compliance monitoring, and operational accuracy. Whether you’re seeking to enhance executive benefits, accelerate tax savings, or integrate your plan with a 401(k), Admin316 ensures your Cash Balance Plan is managed with confidence, precision, and accountability.
A cash balance plan (CBP) is maintained on an individual account basis, much like a defined contribution plan. The features of cash balance pension plans resemble those of 401(k) plans. Investments are managed professionally, and participants are promised a specific benefit at retirement. However, the benefits are stated in terms of a 401(k)-style account balance rather than the terms of a monthly income stream.1
For instance, an employee on a cash balance pension plan might receive a promise of 5% of their salary with a 5% interest credit. If they made $100,000 annually, they would receive a pay credit of $5,000 plus 5% interest paid on the account balance. As the number of years at the employer increases, the account balance grows to meet the balance promised by the company. The employee can choose a lump sum or a monthly annuity payment at retirement.
