So we’ve got a lot of different types of qualified plans from the Defined Contribution the 401(k)s and Profit Sharing to the Defined Benefit Plans.

The most conservative and guarantees all the benefits to fully-insured 412(e)(3) but we also have for people that want to take a little more risk and invest in the market Traditional Defined Benefit Plans and Cash Balance Plans.

So some of the times people would lean towards a Traditional Plan or a Cash Balance Plan is they want to invest in the market.

In addition, Cash Balance Plans are typically fabulous for companies with more employees and especially a number of owner employees, different partners in the group, and it’s particularly important for groups with owners that have bearing ages.

Can help equalize the contributions rather than typically in a qualified plan the employees with higher wages or the owners with higher wages are typically going to put more contributions in on behalf of a donor employee versus an owner that is a younger age and their contributions can be limited.

So Cash Balance Plans can help equalize these contributions for the owner employees.
