Investment, Fiduciary, and Employee Education Services for Defined Contribution Plans

Managing retirement plan investments and meeting fiduciary obligations can place significant demands on organizations that sponsor 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), and other types of defined contribution (DC) plans. 

Outsourcing responsibility for your defined contribution plan can help guide retirement plan decisions, help with governance and compliance and provide financial and retirement education for employees.

With a deep bench of defined contribution plan specialists and advisors, PNC delivers powerful investment insights, innovative tools and on-demand financial education programs that can help you recruit and retain employees — and help them reach their retirement goals.

A Comprehensive Approach to Achieving Plan Goals

Plan sponsors that choose to outsource responsibilities over their defined contribution plan generally need help with three concerns:

  • Advice to help guide retirement plan decisions
  • Assistance with governance and compliance
  • Financial and retirement education for employees

That’s why PNC’s approach goes beyond defined contribution plan investment consulting to include:

An outcomes-based process
Our approach to defined contribution plan consulting is proven to improve participant outcomes by helping organizations define success, prioritize their plan’s goals and objectives, and design a framework to measure progress.

A participant-focused approach
PNC engages employees holistically — in person and online — to help employees understand the benefits of participating in a defined contribution plan and how to take steps toward achieving their financial objectives. Our dedicated, non-commission employee education consultants work with plan sponsors to understand the needs of their workforce and create custom education campaigns to help ensure that employees receive the support they need to work toward short- and long-term goals.

A dedicated Retirement Plan Advisor
As your relationship manager for 401(k), 403(b) and 457(b) plans, your PNC Retirement Plan Advisor serves as your single point of contact, working with a team of specialists to deliver defined contribution advice and design customized solutions that deliver results. At all times, your advisor acts as your advocate, playing a key role in tying all of the pieces of your retirement plan together and ensuring that you always receive the DC plan advisory services and support you need.
