Defined contribution (DC) plans have made significant progress in helping participants accumulate wealth through automated, simplified investment solutions. Yet the transition from saving to spending remains one of the most complex—and underserved—phases of the retirement journey. As participants approach retirement, they are often left to navigate critical income decisions on their own, leading to behaviors such as underspending, overspending, or suboptimal withdrawal strategies.
In light of this need, the industry has been saturated with new retirement income solutions and tools. The issue for plan sponsors, however, is that the breadth of what can be considered a retirement income solution is vast and complex, making clean comparisons across solutions challenging and clunky.
This session tries to solve this problem by introducing a practical framework for evaluating retirement income (RI) solutions through a participant-first lens. Rather than focusing solely on product features, we explore how plan sponsors can segment solutions based on different participant needs and levels of engagement—mirroring the familiar “do it for me,” “help me do it,” and “do it myself” structure used in accumulation. Attendees will leave with a clearer, more scalable approach to assessing RI solutions and positioning them effectively within a plan lineup.
