You are a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan if you meet any one of the following tests:
n You exercise discretionary authority or control over plan assets or plan management - “Functional Fiduciary”
n You are specifically identified in the written documents of a plan as a “Named Fiduciary”
n You have discretionary responsibility in the administration of the plan.
n You manage the plan or its assets or render investment advice for a fee.

Idea
7 |
The Idean While a “Selling Event” probably will be a very significant financial event for a business owner, will it be
enough?
n Take monies out of business in a strategic manner prior to transaction event
n Create a customized solution
Defined Contribution (skewed to business owner using various formulas, most notably new comp) Defined Benefit (Largest top-line deduction often available to owners but needs to be managed NOT
sold!)n Unique issues around dental company transactions…

Case Studies

Case Study: Optimizing Profit Sharing Allocations
n Situation: Local dentist sponsored a profit sharing plan with a standard pro-rata allocation (% of pay) set-up by his accountant in the late 80’s .
n Complication: Maximizing the dentist contributions at the IRS individual aggregate limit ($50,000 in 2012) would required a 20% of pay contribution to all eligible employees.
n Result: RSG redesigned the Plan using a “cross-tested” profit sharing contribution reducing the required contribution to the staff to 5% of pay. Client saved $58,000 (25% of total contribution) in year 1.

Case Study: Defined Benefit Plan – Retention
n Situation: Private school, was looking for a way to reward loyalty and service through a retirement plan program.
n Complication: IRS limits the ability to reward service in defined contribution plans through eligibility provisions (maximum of one year and two entry dates) and a maximum allowable vesting schedule (six year graded or three year cliff vesting).
n Result: RSG implemented a defined benefit plan with a benefit formula structured to pay and years of service – 1% of pay times years of service up to 25 (maximum benefit is 25% of pay with 25 years of service).

Case Study: Retirement Plans – Overlay Strategy
n Situation: Three person doctor’s office with one owner driving revenue and making significant monies.
n Complication: Asked his “advisor” how much he could put in to max out the tax deduction as his earnings were more than $1mm. He was told $11,000 was his max contribution.
n Result: RSG had the client terminate the SIMPLE prior to the calendar year starting anew and implemented a DC/DB combo plan driven by DB deductions. He is scheduled to receive $242,000 (approx.) in 2011 tax deduction, and 92% of total benefit.

Case Study: Designed Based “Carve-Out”
n Situation: Endodontist group had Money Purchase Plan, which they maximized to the DC limit, and had to give a flat allocation to all staff.
n Complication: Endodontist make a lot of money, and they needed a bigger deduction. Plus, they wanted to give a fair, but not flat, staff contribution.
n Result: By implementing a “Carve-Out” plan design solution we offer the senior doctors an additional $165,000 deduction via Cash Balance Plan. The 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan is both cross tested for group allocation and for coverage testing, and lowered their average staff contribution from 10% to 7.5%. No staff or non-owners are regular participants in the Cash Balance Plan. In addition, the Cash Balance Plan is individually allocated so that each doctor can decide appropriate allocation level. Note 40% coverage.Retirement Solution Group
