4.0 out of 5 stars
An Excellent Overview of the Pension Industry,
This review is from: 401 (K) Today: Designing, Maintaining, and Maximizing Your Company's Plan (Paperback)
A very good overview - but by no means an in depth survey - of establishing and maintaining a defined contribution or benefit plan for a company.Covered are the compliance issues, changes and ammendments to ERISA, and detail on plan distributions. Not the only book to have on the pension industry - but if you work in the field, one to include in your pension library!

A real standout in this field,
By john b (oakland, ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 401 (K) Today: Designing, Maintaining, and Maximizing Your Company's Plan (Paperback)
Author Butler is famous for the "Butler Index," which shows the hidden costs of having your 401k managed by the wrong people. Because he is not selling anything, unlike many others in the pension advice field, his advice is reliable. Well written and "two thumbs up" for this walking "consumer reports of 401k."
