Description

The increasing tendency of large employers to convert their traditional defined benefit pension plans to the cash balance format has engendered substantial controversy, both within the qualified plan community and among the general public. The rise of "new comparability" plans has yet to generate the same level of popular or political concern, perhaps because such plans have largely been embraced by smaller employers. However, among pension mavens, new comparability has occasioned strong supporters and equally firm detractors.
