RETIREMENT DECISIONS
Do you have a pension that offers a lump sum and are considering taking the lump sum in the next few months? Depending on how that lump sum is calculated, there could be a significant change in the dollar value you see.
Some pension plans use calculations that incorporate mortality tables and interest rates when calculating the present value of a pension lump sum. Because interest rates and present value calculations have an inverse relationship, a rise in interest rates could result in a decrease in your lump sum calculation.
If you are considering taking your pension as a lump sum and are either relying upon a lump sum estimate that is even a few months old or plan on taking the lump sum within the next few months, give us a call and we can discuss in more detail.
