Private Pension Plan

What Does Private Pension Plan Mean?

A private pension plan is a pension plan issued by a private company, as opposed to one issued by a public institution or agency.

In the context of insurance, pensions are tools that are used similarly to life insurance policies for financial planning, since both can generate fixed income for retirement.
