TITLE
"Implications of Federal Off-Budget for Contingency Fund Allocations to Federal Guarantee Insurance Programs," Journal of Insurance Issues and Practices, Krogh, Harold C., 1984, Vol. VII, No. 2: 25-43.

ABSTRACT
With the recent changes in the tax laws permitting individuals who are covered by employer pension plans to set up Individual Retirement accounts, interest in individually established, tax sheltered retirement plans has continued to grow. Many institutions are competing for the burgeoning funds expected to flow into such plans.

The purpose of this study is to test a possible strategy by which an individual might decide changes in the mix of the funding media in an IRA or similar account. If it is not possible to find a strategy which is more profitable than committing all of the account to a single form, then the availability of the flexible arrangements is not a real advantage.
