2019 PLANADVISER Recordkeeper Services Survey: 457 Plans
W
ith over $380 billion in recordkept assets, 457 plans account for the third
largest pool of defined contribution (DC) assets, providing public/governmental
and certain nongovernmental employees with access to benefits typically
associated with 401(k) and nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC)
plans. Governmental 457(b) plans are the largest subset and cover 7 million
participants, while nongovernmental plans must limit participation to groups of
highly compensated employees (HCEs) and cover less than 250,000 participants.
As supplemental savings plans, 457s are less successful at capturing participant
savings than are other plans-the $47,000 in average 457 plan assets per
participant is lower than the comparable figures for either 401(k)s or 403(b)s.
The secondary nature of these plans and the limitations many public-sector
457s face in offering automatic enrollment and automatic escalation creates opportunities
for providers to differentiate on the quality and effectiveness of services
that successfully increase participation and contributions levels. Examples would
include on-site meetings, online tools, financial wellness programs and communications/education
campaigns. Retiree services also take on increased importance,
as 457 participants may have multiple distribution options across multiple plans
to consider at retirement. -BOK
