In search for nonqualified success
Article Abstract:
Company Chief Financial Officers and treasurers are pressured to fund the nonqualified pension plan for future management retirees in their company. Defined-benefit plans and 401(k) are supplemented by nonqualified pension plans and they do not have to follow the Erisa standard and be funded. However,the participants of the plan, such as the CEOs, depend on efficient fiscal management of the company. Moreover, bigger corporations are more pressured to fund the nonqualified plans because of their increasing population and their qualified plans are becoming overwhelming.

Forget leaving the pension business
Article Abstract:
Companies may be compelled to switch back to defined benefit plans, after they have moved to defined contribution schemes to shift the burden of pension administration to workers. Recent social, demographic and economic trends as well as government regulations and accounting guidelines will force companies to rebuild the pension system based on defined benefit plans. Unions are batting for defined benefit plans, which offer greater pension predictability than defined contribution programs.

Unitization juices up DB plans
Article Abstract:
Unitization is an accounting and recordkeeping solution for monitoring the ownership of defined benefit plans and investment performance. The approach, which involves the division of an investment portfolio into unit shares, is more inexpensive than mutual fund investments. Unitization also enhances cash inflow which treasurers can use to pay the defined benefit obligations of their companies.
