Pension Plan | 10) PENSION PLAN We maintain contributory and non-contributory retirement plans for eligible employees. Our contributions to the contributory plan amounted to $35.7 million, $29.9 million and $27.3 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The non-contributory plan is a defined benefit pension plan which covers employees of one of our subsidiaries. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s highest compensation for any five years of employment. Our funding policy is to contribute annually at least the minimum amount that should be funded in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. The following table shows the reconciliation of the defined benefit pension plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Investment Policy, Guidelines and Objectives have been established for the defined benefit pension plan. The investment policy is in keeping with the fiduciary requirements under existing federal laws and managed in accordance with the Prudent Investor Rule. Total portfolio risk is regularly evaluated and compared to that of the plan’s policy target allocation and judged on a relative basis over a market cycle. The following asset allocation policy and ranges have been established in accordance with the overall risk and return objectives of the portfolio:
|  | As of 12/31/14 |  |  | Permitted Range |
Total Equity |  |  | 21 | % |  |  | 10-30 | %
Total Fixed Income |  |  | 76 | % |  |  | 70-90 | %
Other |  |  | 3 | % |  |  | 0-10 | %
In accordance with the investment policy, the portfolio will invest in high quality, large and small capitalization companies traded on national exchanges, and investment grade securities. The investment managers will not write or buy options for speculative purposes; securities may not be margined or sold short. The manager may employ futures or options for the purpose of hedging exposure, and will not purchase unregistered sectors, private placements, partnerships or commodities.
