Defining "Retirement Success"
How do you define "retirement success"? For many people, the concept is somewhat abstract, and can mean different things for different individuals.
In this paper, we take the perspective of a defined contribution (DC) plan sponsor and outline the key things a plan sponsor can do to maximize the likelihood of its employees achieving their definition of a successful retirement outcome. We outline best practices for plan sponsors focused on maximizing the change of reaching their financial goals both during accumulation and retirement (decumulation). Better choices can help employees to achieve their retirement goals.
