摘要
Defined-contribution plans are rapidly becoming the primary retirement saving vehicle for most U.S. employees. Currently, 69% of private-sector workers have access to defined-contribution plans but only 7% have access to defined-benefit plans. Yet, defined-contribution plans have not kept up with defined-benefit plans when it comes to investing in alternative investment strategies, such as hedge funds, private equity, and infrastructure. Such allocations have played an important role in improving the risk-return characteristics of defined-benefit portfolios and have contributed to their outperformance of defined-contribution plans. © 2015, Institutional Investor, Inc.
