Retirement Savings Policy reviews the basic policies that govern
retirement savings plans, and their real world application,
focusing on the key issues of finance, taxation, fiduciary conduct,
and employee choice. The discussion is framed around the three
fundamental challenges confronting employers and employees today -
the pension legacy, the 401(k) revolution, and the pressure, from
policymakers, regulators, opinion leaders, and individuals, for
changes that will put retirement security within reach of all
Americans. With more than 40 years' experience in the field,
Michael P. Barry provides both a wealth of practical detail - best
practices and concrete solutions - and a broad framework for
understanding the issues surrounding retirement plans and
strategies. The result is a comprehensive introduction to the
forces that drive sponsor, participant, and policymaker
decision-making. This is the perfect book for benefits and
financial professionals who want a better understanding of the
basic rules that govern retirement plan administration but also
serves those interested in truly understanding the nuances and
issues surrounding retirement plans and policies. The approach is
practical, focusing on how US retirement plans actually work, how
they are taxed (and not taxed), how they are regulated. But it is
also conceptual, devoting considerable attention to an
understanding of why these plans work the way they do. Why
regulators and policymakers are so focused on a handful of issues -
expanding coverage, reducing fees, fairness. And, at the highest
level, what are the problems that we are trying to solve. As such,
much of what we discuss will be of interest to a more general
reader, who wants a realistic understanding of what is really at
stake in current retirement policy debates.
