ALTHOUGH BOTH EMPLOYERS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES see the value of guaranteed lifetime income options, differences appear among 401(k) and 403(b) providers when it comes to retirement plan design, according to a survey by TIAA.
The survey found 403(b) plan sponsors are more likely to see income replacement as the biggest influence on their plan decisions (46% vs. 30% of 401(k) plan sponsors) and to consider the retirement income replacement ratio (41% vs. 21%) and retirement readiness (37% vs. 19%) as key metrics of their plan’s success. 403(b) sponsors (82%) are also more likely than 401(k) sponsors (67%) to believe their participants are extremely/very interested in guaranteed lifetime income annuities.
