Provisions in the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act aim to relieve retirement plan sponsors’ concerns about including guaranteed income options, specifically annuities, in their defined contribution (DC) plan designs. Educating plan sponsors about annuity options and helping them know how to educate their participants is an important first step in increasing annuity offerings in plans. Plan sponsors need to understand their choices and responsibilities and understand what to consider before implementing guaranteed income solutions in their plans. This edition of PLANSPONSOR Weekend includes articles that will aid in this understanding. Have a great weekend and please be safe. |
