A large nonprofit healthcare provider, managing a frozen and underfunded pension plan with $100 million in assets, was burdened by volatile contribution demands and administrative costs exceeding 1% of plan assets annually. The organization needed a clear, strategic path to fully fund and terminate the plan while minimizing financial strain.
To address this challenge, the team conducted a forensic analysis of the pension plan, examining historical funding patterns, current liabilities, and future scenarios over a five to 10-year horizon. This deep dive revealed hidden inefficiencies in the organization's PBGC premium strategy, enabling informed decision-making around plan funding strategy and termination planning to provide immediate cost-saving opportunities.
The result was an immediate savings of $1 million by changing PBGC premium strategies. A long-term contribution policy was also established to reduce administrative expenses and fully fund the plan for termination.
With a sustainable strategy in place, the healthcare provider gained a clear path to exit the pension plan efficiently and cost-effectively, ensuring financial stewardship while honoring commitments to participants.
