Defined contribution plans
Build our DB discipline into your DC plan

DC strategies that apply decades of institutional best practices
We will work together with you to build a sound investment strategy implemented through our multi-manager funds, balanced funds, target date funds or a customized solution just for you.

PPA endorses auto-enrollment and default funds
A growing number of companies are boosting DC plan participation by automatically enrolling employees into a well-diversified default option. Target date funds are an increasingly popular choice because of their simplicity. The Department of Labor has proposed safe harbor protection to plan sponsors who use target date funds as a plan default.

Not all target date funds are created equal
Although target date funds offered by various investment firms may seem similar, manager selection process, glide path methodology, asset allocation policy, diversification and ongoing fund maintenance and management can be substantially different.

Providing information you need
In a relationship with us, you will work with a dedicated client team. We can provide quarterly performance reporting, web-based fund information and participant education materials.

Russell Investment Group is a Washington, USA corporation, which operates through subsidiaries worldwide, including Russell Investments, and is a subsidiary of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company.

Please remember that all investments carry some level of risk, including the potential loss of principal invested. They do not typically grow at an even rate of return and may experience negative growth. As with any type of portfolio structuring, attempting to reduce risk and increase return could, at certain times, unintentionally reduce returns.
