"When interest rates are low, the lump sum value is higher than when interest rates are higher. That implies that now is an especially opportune time to take a lump sum." I was wondering if you wouldn't mind explaining this a little further? Why is the lump sum higher when interest rates are low? The funds are being managed by a third party trustee and not under the control of the company. Still, the point about one in the hand versus two in the bush is well taken. RS |
