DC SolutionsDCSolutions

Overview

As the retirement solutions provider of PGIM, our goal is to deliver innovative defined contribution solutions founded on market-leading research and capabilities.

Our highly-experienced team has a deep understanding of the challenges plan sponsors face and a long history of partnering with clients to build more outcome-focused retirement programs.

The team’s expertise spans across plan design and participant engagement, investment best practices, portfolio construction, retirement income, and the regulatory and legislative environment.

We believe the current system is not optimized for solving for lifetime income, and transformational enhancements are needed in order to bring retirement income solutions to American workers and retirees. We believe our five key retirement income pillars will not only reshape the DC marketplace, but provide plan sponsors with a path towards delivering reliable retirement income for their participants.
