What do the highest growth retirement plan practices do differently?

 

The defined contribution (DC) market is bigger and more dynamic than ever, with roughly $18 trillion in assets. DC plans will grow another third by 2029,¹ but more than $800 billion leaves these plans each year,² according to Cerulli. For advisors, that's not a sideline. It's where wealth relationships increasingly begin: Nearly one in four clients first met their advisor through a workplace plan, according to the Capital Group DC Advisor Benchmark 2026 study.

 

In our latest benchmark study, Capital Group surveyed 439 retirement plan advisors to answer one question: What does the top 20% actually do differently? 

 

Join our upcoming webinar featuring practice management and retirement plan consultants Shaun Tucker and Jon Wainman, along with top retirement plan advisor Greg Mendoza, to learn about the repeatable processes that helped top performers grow DC assets 2.4× faster, grow DC revenue nearly 6× faster and convert 3.5× more new wealth clients from plan participants, according to the Capital Group DC Advisor Benchmark 2026 study.

What you'll get:

  • Processes to help drive organic growth. Run referrals and centers of influence like a managed pipeline, not a hope.
  • Strategies to convert more intentionally. A defined playbook, earlier engagement and thoughtful segmentation.

Who can benefit:

  • Retirement plan advisors looking to grow assets, revenue and participant-to-wealth client conversions.
  • Wealth managers aiming to increase their defined contribution business.
  • Advisory teams and practice leaders seeking to improve team efficiency to help gain and serve more clients.
