Should non traditional investment options be in your plan?

As a Plan Sponsor, one of your fiduciary responsibilities is to work with your Investment Committee in picking the best available investment options for your Plan. As a fiduciary, it is also your responsibility to examine what plan investment strategies work best for your size plan. Have you looked beyond mutual funds for your line up? Have you considered collective trusts, ETFs, Separately Managed Accounts, Insurance Pooled Accounts and target date strategies? Where do you go to get the information you need? If you need the answers, get the right information from other plan sponsors and providers in workshops and general sessions at PSCA’s 2010 National Conference.

The Top Five Reasons to Sponsor a PSCA Event

1. Smart Use of Your Marketing Budget. Through sponsorship of PSCA conferences and events you can target your marketing directly to retirement and institutional decision makers.
2. Networking. PSCA provides service providers the opportunity to network with Plan Sponsors seeking best practice solutions for their plan.
3. If You Have to Choose One, Choose the Best. PSCA events are consistently highly ranked and well-attended - even in difficult economic times.
4. Co-op Marketing. Work with PSCA to produce electronic, integrated campaigns directly to your prescreened target markets.
5. Integrated Marketing. Create an integrated marketing solution using rich media, online, and traditional appropaches across a variety of channels.

And the Best Reason to Support PSCA?
PSCA is on the front lines defining and promoting the 401(k) industry. Your sponsorship enables funding of public policy work and Plan Sponsor education that enables companies of all sizes and industry types to develop "best practices" retirement savings plans.

National Conference Keynote Presentation

Over the next couple of months we will be confirming speakers for keynote and breakout workshops at PSCA's National Conference in September. One session that people look forward to each year is a keynote presentation by PSCA's own David Wray. David has been the President of PSCA for more than 20 years. If you have ever had the opportunity to hear David speak, you know that he is always energetic, engaging, and informative. He always provides insight into some of the latest defined contribution industry trends and events. And, if you've never seen David speak before, be sure to register to attend this year's conference - you won't want to miss what David has to say!

The Value of Industry Conferences

Where can you go to learn about what's new in the financial service industry without getting the feeling that "someone is trying to sell you something"? Most of us want simple answers to simple questions: What has your experience been adding target date funds? Is auto enrollment right for everyone? What does the new regulations around Form 5500 mean to me? We want these answers and we would also like to get them from someone just like us -- a small/medium/large company in the same industry. The best place to go -- and the most cost effective -- is a National Conference like PSCA's 63rd Annual National Conference...a conference created by Plan Sponsors for Plan Sponsors which will held September 21 -24, 2010 at the Ritz at Amelia Island, Florida. If you don't believe me, ask the thousands who have attended over the past decades.
