If you offer a Defined Benefit Plan, your Annual Actuarial Valuation (AAV) is an important tool to help you understand the current and future health of your retirement plan. We will walk you through understanding key components of your AAV, and what those numbers tell you about your plan’s current costs and future sustainability.

Chief Actuary David Kausch from Gabriel, Roeder, Smith & Company will discuss the assumptions used to create this report and how we monitor and adjust those assumptions. We’ll also preview a new self-service tool MERS will be launching to provide easier access to your plan information and resources to assist with various funding strategies.
