2025 PLANSPONSOR Best in Class DC Plan Provider Standouts

Eleven providers received Best in Class Plan Provider recognition based on a high threshold rating from sponsors of defined contribution plans, micro to mega.

From the 11, nine providers qualified as 2025 PLANSPONSOR Best in Class DC Plan Provider Standouts, each accumulating the greatest number of service awards in the 2025 PLANSPONSOR DC Survey’s six plan size categories, which range from plans having up to $5 million in assets to plans having more than $1 billion in assets. Below, we list the honorees, along with the total number of BIC “loving cups” each received.

The survey results on plan provider service ratings were published in February. Additionally, PLANSPONSOR DC Survey plan benchmarking data, by industry and in aggregate, can be viewed here.

The 2025 PLANSPONSOR Best in Class DC Plan Provider Standouts will be honored at the 2025 PLANSPONSOR Excellence in Retirement Awards dinner.
