The IAM National Pension Plan

The IAM National Pension fund is called a "Defined Benefit Pension Plan". Defined benefit pension plans are insured by the Federal Government and any excess in fund assests MUST go to improve members benefits.

Most employers hold and control what is called a Defined Contribution plan. They control the assets and they determine what to do with the excess in assets. Most invest this money in their company.
