Mind the savings gap

In the short and long term, your employees need you to step up.
Managing the retirement savings gap with a delegated defined contribution solution:
Many Canadians today rely on Defined Contribution (DC) arrangements to grow their savings for retirement. But the DC landscape in Canada has been slow to evolve, leaving many people vulnerable with reduced savings for retirement. As an employer, you can lead the change. Plan members are looking to you to supply sound advice, timely communication, and quality investment options to help them prepare for the future.
Fortunately, bridging the gap in retirement savings for your employees is more feasible than you might think. With a delegated solution, you get access to our team of experts in plan governance. We provide the resources, structure, and processes you need to improve employee understanding and confidence. At the same time, you maintain oversight and control over strategic decisions.
