Our Collaborative Design: Kereti Tuioti worked with the client’s Financial Advisor, CPA and a Retirement Plan Administrator to create and execute a Defined Benefit Plan. The result was a tax-deductible contribution level to the Defined Benefit Plan above the current Defined Contribution plan and a $1million policy. The split -funded design enabled the client to defer a significant portion of his annual income in his retirement plan and fund his life insurance policy with pre-tax contributions.
