Target-Benefit Plan
A benefit plan that is similar to a defined benefit plan since contributions are based on projected retirement benefits. However, unlike a defined benefit plan, the benefits provided to participants at retirement are based on the performance of the investments, and are therefore not guaranteed. Investopedia Says:
The target benefit plan also bears some similarity to a money purchase plan as contributions are mandatory. Generally speaking, a target benefit plan is a cross between a money purchase pension plan and a defined benefit plan. Related Terms:
