RESEARCH YEAR IN REVIEW
Excerpts from our proprietary research results
roper retirement plan decisionmaking begins when sponsors
and fiduciaries have the right information. For this
reason, nearly all issues of PLANSPONSOR include a proprietary
research report or a buyer's guide to give plan sponsors
up-to-date information about plan features, providers, products
and services. The research includes data from providers, but also
from thousands of plan sponsors and hundreds of participants-
all offering insight to our readers for how they might better their
plan offerings and plan design.
This year in review section contains highlights from most of
the research we published in 2017. To read the full version of each
survey or guide, including provider listings where available, visit
PLANSPONSOR.com/research. In this issue, are excerpts from:

DB Administration Survey
The PLANSPONSOR Defined Benefit (DB) Administration
Survey (page 48) results indicate that the use of defined benefit
plans is up substantially-by 22%. Considering the health of
the pension risk transfer market and the oft-reported decline
of pension plans as a whole, one may wonder where the growth
originates. But, according to The Segal Group, one-quarter
of the Fortune 500 companies still offer pension plans to new
employees, and nearly all of them are hybrid plans or cash
balance plans-both being types of defined benefit plans. In this
issue, we have highlighted statistics from the overall marketplace,
as well as the top five defined benefit administrators in
various segments.
