| PHawk | That's funny. Maybe CFA could explain the deductions from my paycheque for my DBP. Mine is 50/50 employer/employee funded. When the unfunded pension liability was increased, so did my monthly contributions off my paycheque. |
| farhan92 | might not be a DB plan buddy... |
| Pllam3 | The answer is not correct technically. In U.S., employees contributions to DB plans are not tax deductible (only employer contribution are deductible) so this explains why most plans in U.S. (Not all plans) do not have employees contributions (this is not the case for U.S. defined contribution plans where employees contributions are tax deductible). However, in Canada for example, rules are differents and employees contributions to DB plans are tax deductible so most DB plans have employees contributions. |
| ange | Therefore employers "normally" make contribution to DBP. |
I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
