Especially hard hit are retirees and near-retirees, who traditionally shift assets from a diversified portfolio to longer term, higher yield investments as they begin relying on their nest egg for income. One major challenge right now is that the yields on traditional fixed income investments, such as money market funds, CDs and fixed annuities, are at near historic lows. Slightly riskier fixed income investments, such as taxable and municipal bonds and bond funds, also carry low yields and varying degrees of credit risk.

As these investments become more common, the executives, boards and management of not-for-profits need to fully understand their pros and cons. In addition to the inherent market risks, tax-exempt organizations run the risk of losing their exempt status if they do not adequately account for alternative investment income and comply with strict government reporting requirements.

But an employer’s responsibilities do not end when the health benefit or retirement plan is established. This white paper has been prepared to assist employers in finding and correcting operational defects that, left undetected and unchanged, can be expensive and time-consuming to correct, and can lead to a plan losing its qualified status. Also included is a review of the penalties that the DOL is prepared to levy against benefit plan sponsors that fail to meet the filing requirements.
