next issue no. 8: The future of defined contribution

Download

A change of plans 

In this issue of next, we’ll explore topics making news in the defined contribution (DC) world as potential ways to innovate plan design. First, we’ll discuss the increasing importance and innovation around guaranteed income in 401(k) plans. These capabilities are gaining more and more traction in the market. Next, we’ll call out what to watch for, from a fiduciary perspective, within the upcoming Department of Labor environmental, social and governance (ESG) ruling, as ESG continues to grow as an increasingly important topic for employees. Third, as employers and employees grapple with returning to work, we seek to offer guidance on the flexible office/remote environment, and what steps might possibly be taken by employers to help employees, and plan participants, remain engaged. Finally, we look at the headline-making world of cryptocurrency and examine the impact of this rapidly evolving technology on DC plan menus.

All investments carry a certain degree of risk and there is no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. Equity investing involves risk. Investments are also subject to political, currency and regulatory risks. These risks may be magnified in emerging markets. Diversification is a technique to help reduce risk. There is no guarantee that diversification will protect against a loss of income.
