Topic:  Paying for Rising Benefits Expense in 2022 & Beyond

Employee benefits expense continues to rise at a pace that far exceeds traditional investment returns. Fortunately, financial institutions can broaden their investing horizons through Employee Benefits Pre-Funding (EBPF) plans in attempts to extract greater returns to subsidize these costs. But buyer beware; not all programs are created equally. In this session, we’ll discuss the regulations surrounding EBPF programs, the investment solutions available to for-profit and not-for-profit entities, and the pros and cons of each approach. Join us to discover how to build a strong pre-funded benefits program that can help your institution attract, retain and reward your employees in today’s challenging labor market and beyond.
