Marsh BrightPath

Unlock the value of delegation. Lighten your administrative burden. Strengthen employee retirement outcomes.

Outsource strategically to optimize and simplify plan governance tasks

Many plan sponsors struggle with finding the necessary resources and expertise to help their employees on their savings journeys and to support them in transitioning to retirement. In addition, defined contribution (DC) plan management and governance is becoming increasingly complex. This leaves employers with little time to take a strategic approach to achieving DC plan success.

That’s why we developed Marsh BrightPath, our global defined contribution savings solution giving employers access to DC solutions in a delegated model that helps make retirement simpler for employers and their people. Its global reach also gives multinational employers a more coordinated and efficient way to access DC solutions across countries.

With more than $102bn* in assets under management globally, Marsh BrightPath aims to bring institutional scale to retirement savings across the world.

Through BrightPath, plan sponsors can delegate oversight of their portfolios and the plan administration to our experts while maintaining control of strategic decisions with our support. With Marsh supporting your day-to-day plan governance initiatives, you’re free to focus on broader strategies.
