4 of 5 Executives Considering Outsourcing Pension Plans

September 21, 2006 10:21 AM
From BusinessFinanceLink, Issue #349

Pension "reform" is fueling the growth of plan management outsourcing -- a market that's already growing like crazy. Poll results released this week show that 81% of all executives polled said their organizations are considering outsourcing their plans, and almost a third (29%) say they will either close, freeze or terminate their pensions by the end of 2007. If that were to occur, 52% of all U.S. and Canadian plans polled will be closed, frozen or terminated by the end of 2007. The poll, sponsored by SEI, points to an emerging divide in the defined benefit space as organizations weigh their commitment to pensions amid ongoing market and regulatory changes.
