Defined Benefit Expense Survey
BCG conducts the only industrywide survey to capture all the costs associated with maintaining a U.S. corporate defined benefit pension plan. The survey process helps sponsors to identify the full range of plan expenses and to improve plan governance and efficiency.
DB Expense Benchmarks Reports
BCG DB Expense Benchmarks Reports allow plan sponsors to compare the expenses of their plans with those of other plans that participate in the BCG Defined Benefit Expense Survey. Benchmarks Reports can identify areas where plan sponsors may look for better cost efficiency in the operation of their plans.
Vendor Price Discovery and Search
For any category in a BCG DB Expense Benchmarks Report where plan expenses appear relatively high, BCG can provide an estimate of current market pricing for services in that category. BCG can also evaluate the cost savings and service enhancements that can be achieved through a bundled services arrangement and will assist with the search for qualified providers. To learn more, Contact Us.
PRT Analysis or Settlement Estimate
BCG’s PRT Analysis is ideal to help plan sponsors gain a better understanding of their DB plan’s liabilities, PRT options, expected costs, expense savings, implementation considerations, and next steps. A Settlement Estimate is an abridged version of the PRT Analysis providing a snapshot of a DB plan’s termination liability. To request a sample PRT Analysis or Settlement Estimate, Contact Us.
