PLANADVISER Recordkeeper Services Guide

Methodology

Methodology

The data here are taken from the 2015 PLANSPONSOR Recordkeeping Survey. The survey questionnaire was distributed to providers of full-service and unbundled recordkeeping for defined contribution (DC) plans, and PLANSPONSOR received 66 complete responses. The questionnaire, which asked for approximately 350 data points on a wide range of provider experiences and capabilities, was available to providers between March and May. Except where noted, all data are as of December 31, 2014.

Also note that the tables here offer only a snapshot of selected adviser-related information from each vendor, and the provider list includes only the 52 that work with financial advisers in some capacity regarding sales to and servicing of defined contribution plan clients. Additional data on the complete list are available at www.plansponsor.com. To purchase an Excel spreadsheet containing the full dataset of responses from all 66 providers, please contact Michelle Judkins at mjudkins@assetinternational.com.
