Week ending February 26th, 2016 Happy Friday PLANSPONSOR readers! This week is America Saves Week, and for this effort, several research studies came out showing Americans report only modest savings progress, bumping up contributions every so often is better than nothing, and retirement savers tend to save more for other things. In other news this week, retirement plan fee lawsuits are expanding focus to question why plan sponsors didn’t use alternatives to mutual funds; TIAA-CREF has made some big changes; and you’ll learn how cross-tested plans work and which plans and participants they benefit. Have a great weekend!
