Defined Contribution

EBRI says studies either ignore future contributions to DC plans or fail to consider the growing influence of auto-enrollment and auto-escalation.

Pittsburgh Glass, which manufactures and distributes automotive glass products, has 3,500 participants in its defined contribution plan with $232 million in assets.

As part of the settlement, the firm's employees will be able to choose from an array of Fidelity and non-Fidelity mutual funds in its 401(k) menu.

A Fidelity Investments survey indicates that 43 percent of workers weigh employer matching funds in their 401(k)s so heavily that theyd accept lower pay so long as it came with a higher match.

When it comes to shoring up their own retirement savings, more than a third of Americans who participate in an employer-sponsored plan have never increased their contributions to the plan.
