Here’s the Challenge

Manage the risk, maximize the value

Pension risks can be difficult to evaluate and manage, and those who spent decades living and breathing defined benefit plans are riding off into the sunset. Yet, employees still need help making financial decisions that will impact their lives and those of their loved ones well into the future. That leaves employers striving to manage liabilities and risks, while helping employees see the value of this huge benefit.

Here’s how we solve it

Upgrade the pension experience

Alight is the best in the business. Whether your plan is closed, open or frozen, we help with the shifting regulatory landscape.

A pension experience that delivers

Our mission is to ensure employees clearly understand their options to make the best decision. We make essential plan information simple to access, manage and navigate. For added support, we provide self-service and decision guidance tools, educational resources and direct access to knowledgeable experts to guide each decision.

Our commitment continues

While many companies have abandoned pensions in favor of 401(k) plans, Alight’s commitment to defined benefit plans hasn’t wavered. We continue investing in the pension space, ensuring we can deliver a flexible and modern solution to meet all your needs throughout the entire lifecycle.

The perfect pension partner

Market volatility, inflation, interest rate fluctuations and rising costs make pensions a risky proposition. By partnering with Alight, you can mitigate risk, ensure compliance with applicable laws and be confident that decisions are made in the best interest of plan participants.
