THE EVOLVING DC LANDSCAPE
In our survey of 155 plan sponsors we’ve covered everything from retirement readiness and retirement income to alternative investments and ESG.
2025 Defined Contribution Landscape Survey
Defined Contribution (DC) plan sponsors play a significant role in shaping the retirement outcomes of American workers. With the continued decline in defined pension benefits, workers are increasingly dependent on the defined contribution system for a significant portion of their retirement savings. As this shift continues, so does the need for the DC system to evolve.
Our third bi-annual survey explores DC plan sponsors’ visions and progress towards realizing better outcomes for plan participants. Greenwald Associates polled 302 retirement plan decision-makers online in September and October of 2024. Respondents included decision-makers for DC plans with at least $10 million in assets. The findings were weighted by plan asset size, using data from a BrightScope/ICI 2021 report.
Our survey findings will be published in a four-part series.
