What DC plan sponsors should be watching this quarter 

Explore the latest edition of Inside the DC Landscape, our quarterly briefing designed to help plan sponsors stay informed on some of the latest regulatory, legislative, and judicial developments impacting DC plans each quarter.

In this quarter’s Inside the DC Landscape: Q3 2026, we discuss the latest developments emerging on the U.S. Department of Labor’s investment selection proposal, the potential impact of mega IPOs on DC plan investments, and the latest DC plan litigation. 

We'll also explore the continued growth in target date funds, new guidance on the ERISA status of Trump Accounts, and key legislative and regulatory developments to watch this quarter.  

Our goal is simple: bring clarity to what’s evolving, and context to what it means for DC plan sponsors.
