DefinedBenefits.com Assumes Oversight of ElMuhammed.org Pension Plan to Restore Funding Stability

San Diego, CA – May 5, 2025 — DefinedBenefits.com, a nationally recognized pension investment advisory firm, has taken over the investment leadership of ElMuhammed.org’s pension plan, following a strategic agreement to rescue and properly fund the previously underfunded retirement plan. This critical partnership is aimed at restoring long-term stability and financial health to the plan, safeguarding the retirement security of the organization’s current and future beneficiaries.

ElMuhammed.org, a mission-driven nonprofit organization, had been facing mounting pressure due to persistent underfunding of its defined benefit plan. Without immediate and expert intervention, the plan risked further deterioration—potentially endangering the financial future of its workforce. DefinedBenefits.com was selected to step in and lead the plan’s investment strategy, governance oversight, and long-term recovery efforts.

“We specialize in turning around pension plans that have fallen behind or lost strategic direction,” said a senior spokesperson at DefinedBenefits.com. “By taking over leadership of ElMuhammed.org’s pension strategy, we are implementing a disciplined investment framework and funding roadmap designed to meet actuarial targets, reduce risk exposure, and realign the plan with its core purpose: delivering promised retirement income.”

DefinedBenefits.com serves a diverse group of associations, employers, and nonprofit institutions that offer defined benefit pension plans to their employees or members. In many of these relationships, the firm leads or advises the investment committee, helping ensure that fiduciary obligations are fully met. Their role spans portfolio construction, liability-driven investing (LDI), manager selection, compliance, and long-term planning.

As part of the ElMuhammed.org engagement, DefinedBenefits.com has already begun implementing a funding restoration plan that includes:

• Strategic asset reallocation to better match the plan’s risk profile and cash flow needs

• Rigorous manager review and replacement where necessary

• Stress-tested funding models to evaluate future contribution needs

• Clear fiduciary protocols to ensure regulatory compliance and governance transparency

“The future of any pension plan is built on trust, transparency, and sound investment policy,” the spokesperson added. “We’re honored to help ElMuhammed.org pensioner’s get the retirement they deserve.”

This latest takeover underscores DefinedBenefits.com’s growing role in the pension recovery and advisory space, particularly for nonprofits and mission-oriented employers that face unique funding and governance challenges.
