Retirement Planning

2.
Retirement planning
 Retirement planning is the process of determining retirement income goals and the
actions and decisions necessary to achieve those goals.
 Retirement planning includes identifying sources of income, estimating expenses,
implementing a savings program, and managing assets and risk.
 Future cash flows are estimated to determine if the retirement income goal will be
achieved.
 Retirement planning is ideally a life-long process. You can start at any time, but it
works best if you factor it into your financial planning from the beginning.
 That's the best way to ensure a safe, secure—and fun—retirement. The fun part is
why it makes sense to pay attention to the serious and perhaps boring part: planning how
you'll get there.

Main Types of Pension Plan
 There are two main types of pension plans the defined-benefit and the defined-
contribution plans.
 Defined-Benefit Plans
 In a defined-benefit plan, the employer guarantees that the employee receives a
definite amount of benefit upon retirement, regardless of the performance of the
underlying investment pool.
 The employer is liable for a specific flow of pension payments to the retiree, and if
the assets in the pension plan are not sufficient to pay the benefits, the company is
liable for the remainder of the payment.

Defined-Contribution Plans
 In a defined-contribution plan, the employer makes specific plan contributions for the
worker, usually matching to varying degrees the contributions made by the employees.
 The final benefit received by the employee depends on the plan's investment
performance.
 The company’s liability to pay a specific benefit ends when the contributions are
made.
