Book description
Praise For The Retirement Plan Solution
"Short, clear, complete, and always interesting. Best book on DC
plans and what we should do-now."
-Charles D. Ellis,
author, Winning the Loser's Game
"At a time when the world is in turmoil, along with retirement
expectations, the authors have hit a home run. After reading this
book, I have a plan. Read it for your path to retirement
security."
-Dallas Salisbury, President and CEO,
Employee Benefit Research Institute
"The Retirement Plan Solution offers a refreshing and
provocative perspective on how to assess retirement needs, save to
meet these needs, and manage the retirement payout process. In this
time of financial turmoil, employees, plan sponsors, and financial
advisors will find this highly practical resource volume both useful
and humorous."
-Olivia S. Mitchell, Director, Pension
Research Council, Wharton School
"The Retirement Plan Solution is a map to the future of
401(k) retirement plans. But it is not just a theoretical view of what
could be. Instead, the authors describe the needs and trends that are
already here, and then describe the changes that are developing to
meet those needs. It is about the tomorrow that is happening
today."
-Fred Reish, Managing Director, Reish
Luftman Reicher & Cohen
"The respected authors have created a readable, timely, and very
helpful book on all aspects of retirement planning. The suggestions
are practical, the information is concise, and the book is highly
recommended for anyone that is interested in sound financial
planning."
-Moshe A. Milevsky, PhD, Finance
Professor, York University, Toronto, Canada
"This is a must-read for people working in the retirement
industry, as well as those who simply care about how to improve their
chance of reaching a financially secure retirement. In a clear and
simple fashion, the authors deliver one of the best books to date on
inefficiencies in the current DC plan and potential
improvements."
-Peng Chen, President, Ibbotson
