Actuarial Services

Our actuarial consulting department assists our clients with their actuarial needs, including the evaluation of the funded status of defined benefit pension plans on an ongoing basis, termination basis and/or on a GAAP basis, which includes an analysis of projected future cost. Our actuaries also will determine the impact of the new mandated Pension Protection Act funding rules on future plan costs and recommend changes to defined benefit plans to control those costs.
