20/20 Money Episode #277 – Using a cash balance plan strategies when you sell your practice with Charlie Steingas of Cash Balance Actuaries, Inc.

February 26, 2024

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Charlie Steingas, founder and chief actuary at Cash Balance Actuaries, a firm that specializes in the design, implementation, and ongoing monitoring of cash balance plans. 

In this episode, we define what a cash balance plan is and how it’s different from a defined benefit plan (hint: they’re similar, but still different), what influences whether one would go DB vs Cash balance plan, how investing your plan assets impacts overall plan funding requirements, how cash balance plans influence the funding strategies of a defined contribution plans like a profit sharing plan, and the positive changes that took place in the wake of SECURE Act 2.0 passing.
