Defined benefit plans have been the backbone of retirement plans for many generations.   While they are becoming less prevalent in today’s benefit environment, it is critical that they be managed carefully to meet their original expectations and goals.   

Alliance Benefit Group has successfully provided defined benefit plan administration service for over forty years.   Our professional staff of actuaries, consultants, attorneys, accountants, and administrators have years of experience in the pension plan industry which allows us to provide clients the expertise and skills necessary to successfully manage these types of plans.   In addition, we have created a number of tools to assist us in meeting those goals.

We pride ourselves on the fact that all actuarial valuations are delivered to the client on a personalized basis by an actuary able to translate the results into common language so they are completely understood.  In addition, our consultants are fully accredited through a number of actuarial organizations.

Alliance Benefit Group also provides a suite of products designed to assist plan sponsors in the management of the pension plan. These products include:
