PBGC Issues $1.5B to Struggling Musicians’ Pension
The grant is among the largest the PBGC has made.
Private equity investment in the insurance industry is affecting how some view risks in the pension risk transfer market, while others say it will broaden the PRT sector’s appeal as a diversification tool.
The repayment is the second related to overpayment of excess funds received from the PBGC in connection with the Special Financial Assistance Program.
The plan reached a settlement with DOJ on Monday that will clear its debt with the PBGC.
In addition to that update at a subcommittee hearing, House Republicans suggested the PBGC cut premiums for its single-employer program.
