The appeal of the fully insured plan is exemption from IRC Section 412(e) funding requirements and the elimination of market risk for the employer.
Elimination of Actuarial Certification
No Quarterly Contribution Requirements
This fully insured plan is not subject to the traditional defined benefit plan requirement of making quarterly contributions; instead, it requires annual funding.
Allows Maximum Contributions & Deductions
Most qualified retirement plans are limited in contribution amount to a maximum of 25 percent of compensation.
Because a fully insured pension plan promises a specific benefit, that benefit must be funded over the remaining available time before retirement. This means that significantly larger contributions can be made over a relatively short period of time for an older owner participant. And, because the fully insured pension plan is a qualified plan, the contributions are tax deductible to the employer.
Always Fully Funded
By definition, if a plan conforms to IRC Section 412(e), plan assets will never be insufficient to pay benefits when due. This results in a significant cost savings for employers.
