Retirement Income Strategies: Designing a Practical Roadmap

Defined contribution plan sponsors are keenly aware of their employees’ financial insecurity about not having adequate income in their retirement years or outliving their income stream. The retirement income imperative is here to stay – and many sponsors have started down the path of evaluation and implementation of retirement income solutions. Yet with numerous products and approaches in the marketplace, how does one determine what’s optimal for employees? 

This two-day event, which highlights the plan sponsor viewpoint and is supported by leading industry providers, examines the range of solutions and services that DC plans can consider for participants in the decumulation phase – and highlights best practices being adopted and what’s coming next.
