Defined contribution
plans after the CARES
Act – It’s not business
as usual

We’ll discuss how plan sponsors can
take action to better position their
defined contribution (DC) programs
and assist participants in this time
of financial distress.
 
 
From market declines and continuous volatility to the emotional and financial toll borne by participants as they experience persistent shocks to their retirement savings, the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented and far reaching.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed to address the economic fallout. However, the issues for DC plans go far beyond the scope of this government action. Our speakers will address how to: 
  • Evaluate and make changes to plan design during the pandemic
  • Manage plan investments through a time of unprecedented market volatility
  • Keep participants informed during periods of rapid change and uncertainty
The session will also include live polling and Q&A.
