ABOUT ART

----•----

Arthur Kagan is one of the most qualified and experienced actuaries and pension plan consultants in the retirement plan industry.  In his 40+ year career he has helped thousands of plan sponsors, of all size companies, with the management of their retirement plans and plan designs.

For 26 years Art had his own Third Party Administration (TPA) firm, The Kagan Company.   The firm served 650 retirement plans, employed 4 actuaries and 7 plan administrators, and had two offices.  Art sold his firm in 2016 and formed a new company, A|K Actuarial and Pension Services.  The primary focus is to provide advisory and expert witness services to attorneys and other advisors on actuarial, pension plans, ERISA, executive plans, divorce, estate values and personal injury issues.   

In 2021 Art was excited to also partner with Economic Group Pension Services (EGPS) to provide sales and consulting services.  EGPS is a national actuarial and TPA firm servicing over 5,000 retirement plans and employs 8 actuaries.

Art's experience ranges from actuarial, creative plan design, plan documents, employee communications, plan funding, actuarial assumptions, plan administration, plan termination, plan tax filing, retirement plan studies, pension law compliance, cash balance pension, defined benefit pension, 401(K), profit sharing and combined plans, ESOPs, life insurance in qualified plans, annuities, executive benefits, audits and QDROs.
