The First Quarter 2019 Currents covers:

Investment Trends — Segal Marco Advisors, the investment solutions provider of The Segal Group, considers how investors can cope with market uncertainty and what tightening monetary policy might mean for markets.
Compliance News — The 2019 Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) premium for multiemployer plans has increased to $29 per participant from $28 per participant. Limits for elective 401(k) and 457(b) contributions also increased, as did the annual 414(q) compensation threshold for highly compensated employees.
