About This Webinar
The Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act provided a fiduciary safe harbor for selecting an insurer/vendor of guaranteed retirement income contracts and addressed the portability issue for offering in-plan guaranteed income products by permitting participants to transfer annuities no longer authorized to be held as investment options under a defined contribution (DC) plan. Still, plan sponsors might not understand product choices or how to address the huge need for participants to have guaranteed retirement income through DC plan design.

Join PLANSPONSOR and retirement industry sources for a discussion about:
The types of guaranteed income products available for sponsors of DC plans;
What plan and participant data to take into consideration to select the most appropriate guaranteed income product; and
Elements of guaranteed income products to evaluate when selecting one.
