CanadaDefined Contribution Plans
We take an interactive, consultative approach to helping plan sponsors achieve their optimal plan design and improve outcomes for their participants. Contact us to learn more about how we can partner with you to help meet your objectives.
Our Approach
With over 20 years of experience serving the unique needs of defined contribution plans, we’ve developed a discerning perspective that enables us to stay in front of evolving industry trends. We believe that a key area of opportunity today is to better serve participants over 50 in their transition to retirement.
Our unique perspective on retirement and the DC industry informs our approach to the market.
Take a longitudinal view of participants’ careers across multiple employers and plans.
Consider the retirement readiness of households, not just individuals.
Focus on people, not just plans. Most people are not the average participant, and most participants are not in the average plan.

Simplifying Plan Member Complexity
As an industry, we have begun to broaden our attention from a singular focus on accumulating retirement savings to helping plan members replace income in retirement.
Glide Path Optimization Avoids Slippery Slope of Extended Equity Risk
Why we believe a ‘to’ glide path offers the better solution.
Behavioural Finance and Building Better Retirement Plans
Canada is joining other developed economies in shifting away from defined benefit retirement savings plan in favour of defined contribution workplace retirement savings plans.
Optimizing Plan Design in Defined Contribution
Plan sponsors need to remain attuned to changes and the need to ensure their plans keep pace with the market.
