Wiki Article

Integrating a Floor Offset Plan into your retirement strategy can provide a balanced approach to securing your financial future. This hybrid plan combines the stability of a defined benefit (DB) plan with the growth potential of a defined contribution (DC) plan. Here’s how you can effectively incorporate a Floor Offset Plan into your overall retirement strategy.
Understanding the Basics of a Floor Offset Plan
Before integration, it’s essential to grasp the fundamentals of a Floor Offset Plan. This plan offers a guaranteed minimum income (the "floor") based on a defined benefit structure, while the additional benefits depend on the performance of the defined contribution component. This combination ensures a stable base income with the potential for increased retirement savings.
