Editor’s Letter
Back in Black John Sullivan Editor-In-Chief jsullivan@usaretirement.org
Yes, we say it every year, but this time we REALLY mean it. It’s our largest Black Book ever—by far! There’s plenty of great information from great firms about the great resources they offer, so read on. Apparently, companies really like appearing in the Black Book. Last year was a record, with 220 companies listed. We blew by that number this year, with approximately 300 companies listed, a significant increase and by far the largest increase in recent memory. As always, compiling the Black Book is a rewarding yet challenging task, but the results for 2025 are in. With society’s ongoing digital transformation, AI everywhere, ChatGPT, e-newsletters, online magazine issues, pop-ups, scroll downs, and everything else that goes into the “customer experience,” we’ve once again made it a fully digital edition. As the American Retirement Association (ARA) continues its customer experience upgrade, look for more changes and interactive features (with the Black Book and all the other publications it produces) to come!
But for now, the Black Book will look familiar, and arrives as retirement plan regulation and legislation continues its brisk pace—including CITs in 403(b) s, Trump accounts, (still) the possibility of a federal retirement plan option for the private sector, state-sponsored Auto-IRAs, better and faster technology, and the “auto” revolution are all issues with which the industry continues to grapple. Fintech and other new entrants continue to make their mark, but have advisors, sponsors, and participants wondering whether they have staying power.
And, in addition to sections for providers of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan services, and Fintech, there’s also a section for Retirement Income, now in its fourth year. Each section is preceded by a brief introduction to that industry sector. There’s plenty of great information from great firms about the great resources they offer, so be sure to check it out. Suggestions to improve it are always welcome, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. For now, we hope you find it useful.
It’s THE reason we put it together and what the Black Book, since 2015, is meant to address. What hasn’t changed is the NAPA Black Book’s goal, “to provide retirement plan advisors such as yourself with a single handy reference guide with key information points about the nation’s leading advisor partners: the size and scope of their business, target markets, select historical data trends, and of course, the means to reach out to find out more. We hope you find it useful and additive to your practice(s).” In addition to our legacy categories (DCIOs, recordkeepers, and BD/RIAs), there are newer categories such as TPAs, Tools & Technology, and Financial Wellness.

It’s hardly a surprise—the big story in DCIO in 2025 was part of a larger retirement industry story: the issue of allowing allocation to private-market investments within 401(k)s. As the retirement industry considers the issue, consultants and advisors rightly note that it will be part of a managed product (rather than the core investment menu) and therefore anticipate that target date solutions — custom or off-the-shelf — will be the primary vehicle for implementation, according to a new study. In September, NAPA correspondent Ted Godbout reported on T. Rowe Price’s 2025 DC Consultant Study — which reflects the views of 36 consulting and advisory firms on key retirement and investment trends. They expect little support for offering alternative investment strategies as stand-alone options in a plan. When asked to indicate which alternatives are most likely to be incorporated into DC plans over the next 12–24 months, the responses revealed a year-over-year increase in expectations for implementation of private credit and private equity. This, according to the report, reflects the retirement industry’s shift toward a more focused approach to private assets rather than the broader alternative investments category. For instance, in 2025, private credit’s average rating rose to 2.1 from 1.7 in 2024, indicating a neutral, but growing, interest in offering DC plan participants exposure to this asset class. Anecdotally, private credit is generally identified as the most immediately attainable private asset investment strategy, given its maturity and regular interest payments, which are helpful for managing liquidity needs, the report noted.
NAPABLACKBOOK2025
At the same time, however, fees were identified by nearly three-quarters (72%) of respondents as a top reason preventing implementation of alternative investments in DC plans, followed by liquidity concerns (44%), and operational complexity (39%). The report further emphasized that fees are at the root of most plan sponsors’ litigation concerns when considering incorporating private assets into DC plans. T. Rowe Price’s study further revealed that consultants and advisors are also focused on managed accounts and their ability to offer a more personalized investment experience. Results showed that more than a third (37%) of respondents offer a proprietary managed account solution, which is most commonly positioned as an opt-in option on the investment menu. There is also neutral-to-slightly positive support for using managed accounts in dynamic QDIAs, where participants are initially defaulted into a targetdate solution and, at a later age, are re-defaulted into a managed account. — Ted Godbout

The principal value of the T. Rowe Price target date strategies is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the target date, which is the approximate year an investor plans to retire (assumed to be age 65) and likely stop making new investments in the trust. If an investor plans to retire significantly earlier or later than age 65, the trusts may not be an appropriate investment even if the investor is retiring on or near the target date. The trusts allocations among a broad range of underlying T. Rowe Price stock and bond portfolios and derivatives will change over time. The trusts emphasize potential capital appreciation during the early phases of retirement asset accumulation, balance the need for appreciation with the need for income as retirement approaches, and focus on supporting an income stream over a long-term postretirement withdrawal horizon. The trusts are not designed for a lump-sum redemption at the target date and do not guarantee a particular level of income. The trusts maintain a substantial allocation to equities both prior to and after the target date, which can result in greater volatility over shorter time horizons. Derivatives may be riskier or more volatile than other types of investments because they are generally more sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions. The T. Rowe Price common trust funds (Trusts) are not mutual funds; rather, the Trusts are operated and maintained so as to qualify for exemption from registration as mutual funds pursuant to Section 3(c)(11) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trusts are established by T. Rowe Price Trust Company under Maryland banking law, and their units are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Investments in the Trusts are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government or its agencies or T. Rowe Price Trust Company and are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal. Although the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common Trust Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per unit, it cannot guarantee to do so. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Trust. The offering circular contains complete information on a Trust’s objective, investment program, and other information, and plan sponsors should read it carefully before deciding to include such Trust as an investment option for plan participants. For more information on the common trust funds being offered, including an Offering Circular or trust fact sheet, please call T. Rowe Price.
Consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of the T. Rowe Price funds carefully before investing.

Firm Profile
Since 1981, Dimensional has been applying financial science to investing—and supporting financial professionals with time-tested solutions they can count on. What does it mean to follow the science of investing? It means building strategies based on rigorous academic research, including the work of Nobel laureates long associated with the firm. It means looking past guesses about what company or sector might outperform—and beyond the restrictions that tracking an index imposes. Our daily, systematic approach to outperforming benchmarks and peers sets us apart. We go where the science leads, continually innovating to improve outcomes for investors.

DoubleLine is a privately owned, employee-controlled asset management business founded by Jeffrey Gundlach and 45 colleagues in 2009 to offer investment management services with a cardinal mandate: deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns to clients. In fact, the name “DoubleLine” embodies that cardinal mandate: like a careful motorist on a winding mountain road, the manager must not cross the double line into the oncoming lane of risk. With that risk guardrail, the firm offers product solutions across asset classes, including Multi-Sector Fixed Income, Securitized Debt, Emerging Markets Fixed Income, Global Developed Credit, Infrastructure Income, Equities, and Commodities. The firm’s portfolio managers have worked together for an average of 17 years (including time at a previous firm) and average 23 years of industry experience, as of June 30, 2025, employing a disciplined and time-tested process of credit underwriting and active management.

Recordkeepers
Calling the past decade “exceptionally favorable” for retirement plan recordkeepers, McKinsey said it’s about to change. In April, the consulting giant argued that the industry is at a crossroads and found few detractors. The authors, led by Jimmy Zhao, a partner in McKinsey’s Boston office, said “fee compression and other factors are squeezing retirement solutions providers’ profitability, but ancillary products and services offer a new avenue for growth.” “Defined contribution plans, which were designed for hyper-efficient wealth accumulation, are now in a decumulation phase: As baby boomers retire and their withdrawals outpace younger savers’ contributions, the DC system is showing net outflows—a trend that’s expected to intensify as the number of people turning 65 is projected to peak in 2026–27,” they wrote.
While the size of the DC market shows a consistent upward trend, the underlying economics of the system have undergone what they said is “a significant transformation below the surface.” They cited total revenues, including investment products and recordkeeping, which grew by $11 billion between 2013 and 2023, from $28 billion to $39 billion. “Over the same period, the DC system created $45 billion in new revenues from retail wealth management,” they concluded. “These figures underscore the industry’s shift from product-centric to participant-centric strategies.”
Moreover, they claimed the industry’s entire business model has shifted. “Retirement recordkeepers’ revenues from administration fees have been declining as they have substantially reduced these fees to win new business,” the authors explained. “At the same time, cross-subsidized business models have become more common, as some retirement solutions providers view the recordkeeping part of their business as a way to generate additional revenue streams, such as those from wealth and asset management. The retirement and wealth management industries have been converging quickly, with retirement solutions providers moving to diversify their revenues with ancillary products such as brokerage accounts and services such as financial advice, for assets within employer-sponsored plans and outside these plans.

Aggregators, Broker-Dealers & RIAs As we’ve consistently noted, how and with whom you choose to affiliate could be the make-or-break decision for your advisory business—whether it’s a broker-dealer (independent or otherwise), registered investment advisor (RIA), or the more recent aggregator. The model you pick is essential to long-term retirement plan advisory success. The RIA channel, in particular, has experienced significant growth over the last decade. Fueled by advisors demanding independence and strong market performance, assets have grown at an 11% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past decade, according to Cerulli Associates. Despite this, RIAs are facing challenges in their ability to grow organically and are seeking new avenues for growth while investing in time-tested options.
With referrals playing a significant role in RIA business development — 93% of billion-dollar RIAs rank referrals as a top organic growth strategy — some firms have been able to avoid more traditional marketing approaches, he added.
Across the recent history of RIAs, the primary focus has been centered on inorganic opportunities, driving growth through mergers and acquisitions. With M&A activity becoming commonplace in the market, the overall concentration is shifting back toward organic growth. This renewed focus is exposing gaps in RIAs’ marketing and business development strategies.
“The average RIA is limited in its resources to drive organic growth, and advisor time constraint is a challenge,” Caruso said. “According to the research, 83% of firms cite limited resources and advisor time constraints as a major or moderate challenge. Furthermore, advisors allocate only 7% of their time to business development, which equates to approximately 3 hours per week in a 40-hour workweek. As scale becomes the goal for many firms, building thoughtful and strategic marketing capabilities will establish a solid foundation for sustainable growth.”
“In an ever-consolidating market, the need for positive net asset flows cannot be overstated, given their impact on the future of the RIA channels,” Stephen Caruso, Cerulli Associate Director, wrote in November. “The need for dedicated marketing, business development, and client service mindsets is crucial as firms seek to retool and refocus for their next stage of growth and opportunity. Actioning these priorities is the challenge facing RIAs today as they seek to tap into new markets and leverage new technology in doing so.”
On the other hand, some of the larger firms have delved deeply into marketing, leveraging multiple strategies to maximize results.
For strategic partners, including asset managers, the need for support in this area is already prevalent and will exacerbate as founders and partner advisors exit the business. By developing value-added content around common marketing themes, such as ideal client personas or branding, asset managers can maintain a leading position as a partner for the firm, Caruso concluded. — John Sullivan

Third Party Administrators As we noted last year, PBS defined a third-party administrator (TPA) as “an organization that processes insurance claims or certain aspects of employee benefit plans for a separate entity.” It sounds so simple. If only … New rules, regulations, paperwork, guidance, interpretations, lawsuits, natural disasters, economic volatility, elections, and congressional control—any number of factors contribute to retirement plan administration confusion and make it easy for mistakes to happen, including retirement plan execution and oversight. Thankfully, we have TPAs, who do quite a bit to keep you and your plan sponsor clients out of trouble and your plan participants happy. A TPA can be an invaluable ally to the advisor in developing the plan design, keeping it compliant, and supporting the plan sponsor client tasked as the fiduciary. Yet, it’s critically important that the culture fits to ensure the relationship lasts. In that vein, the various types of TPAs available in all shapes and sizes mean there’s something for everyone. A perfect example of the “outsource to us” movement begun decades ago (if it isn’t a core competency, outsource so you can focus on what you do best), TPAs are happy to do what many plan sponsors used to do (mainly before 401(k)s and before it all got so complicated).
Just a sampling of all the services TPAs provide today include: • Amending and restating the plan documents • Preparing employer and employee benefits statements • Assisting in the processing of distributions from the plan • Preparing participant loan paperwork • Testing the plan annually to gauge its compliance with all IRS nondiscrimination requirements and plan and participation contribution limits • Allocation of employer contributions and forfeitures • Calculating participant vested percentages • Preparing annual returns and reports required by IRS, DOL, or other government agencies Choosing the right TPA can be the difference between a successful, well-run plan and one that blows up completely. The TPAs listed on the following pages are all focused on working with advisors, resulting in a symbiotic relationship that speaks to each other’s skills and professional needs. It’s critically important to form a mutually beneficial partnership—a win, win (win)—predicated on a solid appreciation for what each party brings to the relationship and does for shared clients. Read on and get a better understanding of just how much they do and how they can help you, your plan sponsors, and your plan participants. — John Sullivan

FinTech Something we wrote in the past still holds true — when will fintech (a mashup of finance and technology) become FinAI or maybe “automated” intelligence? Even for the notoriously slow-adopting financial services space, it’s all happening at breakneck speed. The efficiency, speed, accuracy, participant experience, anytime/anywhere access, on-demand information, data and trends, and everything else they provide means they are the future — albeit with the advisor’s human touch still an integral part of the client relationship. Rather than a John Henry-like duel to the death of man vs. machine, the technology complements, rather than competes with, the financial professional, enhancing both the levels and types of services they can provide. And Cerulli recently reported that the retirement industry is beginning to examine its relationship with artificial intelligence (AI) and how it can integrate new functionality in the coming years. Cerulli found that some forms of AI are already integrated into at least one area of defined contribution (DC) plan management and have the potential to ease back-office operations. According to Cerulli’s survey of defined contribution investment-only (DCIO) asset managers, 16% anticipate that AI’s impact on legal document summaries will be ‘significantly positive,’ with 23% expecting it to be ‘moderately positive’ and another 23% expecting it to be ‘slightly positive.’ “Focusing on more day-to-day functionality enhancements, asset managers and recordkeepers have much to gain from implementing AI tools into their back-office operations,” Adam Barnett, Cerulli Senior Analyst, said. “In the same realm as legal document summaries, beneficiary designations would greatly benefit from AI enhancement. Until recently, beneficiary forms were exclusively paper-based, meaning recordkeepers have decades worth of designations, many of which may have been superseded by newer submissions, marriages, divorces, etc.,” he adds.
NAPABLACKBOOK2025
At the same time, AI has yet to make inroads into other areas of DC plan management. According to Cerulli, 73% of target-date managers say AI will not be incorporated into asset allocation selection, glidepath personalization (at the participant or plan level), or glidepath design. Meanwhile, 67% say AI algorithms will not be used in risk management. DCIO asset managers confirm the findings of Cerulli’s target-date survey, with 59% of respondents indicating that AI will have no material impact on managing target-date products in the next year. Looking forward, questions remain about AI’s efficacy and how it might fit into the retirement industry. The DC business is “hampered by inertia,” with technology and tools that are often outdated and inflexible—one reason many providers are turning to third parties to manage their tech stacks. “Establishing partnerships with such firms will be essential for recordkeepers looking to differentiate their financial wellness and engagement capabilities in the next five to 10 years. Partnering with third-party AI providers will enable recordkeepers to focus less on their technology and more on being retirement experts,” Barnett concluded. “Cerulli believes that AI could play an increased role in the retirement industry. Efforts undertaken now to explore efficiencies will ensure a smooth transition to AI-powered retirement tools of the future.” — John Sullivan

Firm Profile
Firm Profile
In Business Since: 2014 Direct 401k was founded in 2015 to provide an efficient marketplace and monitoring solution focused on the under-served smaller end of the market. The founders realized that small employers lacked the knowledge and understanding for acquiring and operating a retirement plan. They also realized that small plans require the same fiduciary standards as larger plans; however, small employers often work with generalist advisors that lack the understanding to maintain fiduciary servicing standards. Direct 401k subsequently developed Cyrano, a turnkey software-based CRM platform for home offices to guide and monitor their advisors to provide a fiduciary standard of care.
Product / Service Category • Advice/Guidance • Software • Advisor Dashboard
Product / Service Description Direct 401k’s Cyrano platform is a turnkey software technology that allows BD/RIA home office oversight of their entire block of retirement plan business. Cyrano’s robust CRM oversees each step of a plan’s lifecycle to include marketing support, sales, onboarding and ongoing fiduciary monitoring. Cyrano integrates with the BD/RIAs existing tools and services to insure and monitor their use as part of an overall fiduciary oversight program. Custom plan sponsor portals facilitate and track required deliverables, while advisor portals are integrated to provide advisors the ability to service their plans under fiduciary guidelines efficiently. Cyrano begins with a scalable marketing platform that gives advisors the ability to prospect, track lead generation and progress, and ultimately onboard new plans. Cyrano’s marketing team coordinates with the enterprise to maintain compliant white-labeled content. All correspondence is monitored and stored for compliance tracking. Once a plan is onboard, Cyrano’s CRM provides a single sign-on experience for advisors to access their enterprise tools to maintain their plans. Advisor access to the tools via the CRM allows a hierarchy structure for home office compliance officials to monitor use and note any deficiencies of due process. This provides guidance to the advisor and mitigates risk for the enterprise. Cyrano offers an enterprise branded, simple, seamless and secure home office solution to ensure fiduciary standards of care are met.

Tools & Technology It’s essentially a toss-up as to whether many of the following companies belong to FinTech or Tools & Technology, but we left it to them to decide how they want to best represent themselves. As we often note, the sophistication of some of what’s offered—by large, entrenched players and smaller, nimble newbies—had us wondering what the difference really was, but without question, the innovation in the tools and technology to help advisors grow their business and—more importantly—better serve their clients are beyond anything previously seen, in keeping with the march of progress overall. Of course, many are tools rather than technology, including marketing firms, databases, consulting services, fiduciary oversight providers, legal resources, benchmarking platforms, and more.

Firm Profile In Business Since: 2024 Radish, created by the “Father of the 401k”, empowers employees to earn more and achieve more—all while driving the business forward. As emergency savings is the must-have benefit of the future, The Radish Plan addresses the urgent needs of non-highly compensated employees. It is a 401(a) qualified retirement plan that is totally employer funded and the first IRS-approved performance incentive plan that eliminates employer payroll taxes and drives measurable results. It is the only incentive program on the market that allows employers to use tax deferred funds to help business retain talent, increase profitability, and provide financial security for employees.
Product / Service Category Advice/Guidance, Consulting/Plan Design, Software, Other
Product / Service Description • The Radish Plan is a qualified employer-funded retirement/incentive plan (based on a 401(a) prototype) that gives employers flexibility to allocate contributions based on performance or eligibility criteria — rather than relying on employee salary deferrals. • Designed by Ted Benna (widely known as the “Father of the 401(k)”) in collaboration with the provider team. • Targeted for middle- to lower-income employees (e.g., hourly workers, employees who may struggle to participate in a traditional 401(k)) and employers who want to drive recruitment, retention, and performance incentives. • Contributions are employer funded; employee salary deferrals aren’t required. • Because it’s employer contributions and not employee deferrals, the design allows for avoiding many of the compliance/discrimination headaches of a typical 401(k) for non-highly compensated employees (NHCEs). • The design also enables tax efficiencies: employer contributions may avoid FICA, unemployment, and workers’ compensation taxes when structured correctly. • The platform is tech-enabled: integration with payroll/HR systems (e.g., through Finch Inc.) allows automated census, performance data, and tracking—making it easier to administer than many legacy plans. • It can operate alongside a traditional 401(k) — giving employers a complementary benefit rather than a full replacement.
Firm Profile In Business Since: 2016 We help retirement plan advisors grow with compliance-friendly, done-foryou marketing. Specializing in the retirement plan niche, we provide scalable solutions from foundational resources to fully outsourced campaigns that save time, build credibility, and engage plan sponsors and participants.

Financial Wellness
Getting employees actually to engage with financial wellness offerings is always an issue, leading to nudges (digital and otherwise), gamification, and anything else that can grab and hold their attention in an increasingly distracted environment. So, how are we doing, as an industry? A recent study from PNC Bank revealed broad, consistent trends when compared with previous years’ results, though the percentage of workers who reported being stressed about their finances ticked down slightly. The survey findings showed that 68% of workers report being “somewhat” or “very” stressed about their financial situation — down slightly from 70% in 2024 and 71% in 2023. Notably, in 2025, 69% of employers surveyed believed their workers were facing financial stress, down significantly from 78% in 2024 and slightly from 71% in 2023. Other notable findings include: • B oomers are feeling better year-over-year. Among those surveyed, 48% of Baby Boomers said they were better off financially this year compared to last year. Across generations, 38% of Gen X participants, 31% of Millennial participants, and 18% of Gen Z participants reported feeling better about their financial situation in 2025 than in 2024. • M ost U.S. workers are comfortable managing debt. Of those surveyed, 72% of workers said they are at least “somewhat” confident in managing debt. Significantly, Gen Z and Gen X reported being less concerned about student loans than last year, and Boomers were less concerned about auto and finance loans in 2025 than in 2024. Millennials’ debt concerns are about the same as last year across all loan types.
NAPABLACKBOOK2025
• Confidence levels in meeting retirement goals vary across generations. Gen Z is the most confident, with 56% reporting they are “somewhat” or “very confident” that they will meet their retirement goals. Millennials (50%) and Boomers (50%) were equally confident, while Gen X (43%) were the least confident in their ability to meet retirement goals. • Employers generally think their workers are prepared for retirement. A majority (78%) of U.S. employers believe their workers are prepared for retirement. Conversely, only 45% of workers believe they are prepared for retirement. • U.S. workers are more likely to stay with an employer that offers more financial wellness benefits. A significant majority (81%) of U.S. workers surveyed said they are more likely to stay with an employer that offers financial wellness benefits, which is up from 78% in 2024. Additionally, 96% of U.S. employers believe they have at least some responsibility to offer financial wellness benefits, up from 94% last year. — John Sullivan

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation The advantages (and differentiation) that nonqualified deferred compensation plans (NQDC) provide are increasing their popularity with advisors and employers alike. Simply put, advisors who include nonqualified deferred compensation plans (NQDC) in their product offerings can significantly enhance C-suite relationships.
PSCA’s annual NQDC survey, developed by industry leaders from PSCA’s NQDC committee, monitors and analyzes trends and best practices in providing enhanced retirement benefits to key employees.
Employers looking to differentiate themselves and their benefit offerings — particularly in a tight labor market — continue to rely on NQDC plans to make their benefits packages more competitive.
Data highlights include: 1. Plan eligibility: On average, 6.5% of total employees are eligible to participate in NQDC plans. Position/job title remains the most common eligibility criterion, followed by committee approval. 2. Participation: 61% of eligible employees participate in the NQDC plan, deferring an average of 12% of base pay and nearly 30% of bonus pay. 3. Employer match: 80% of employers make contributions to the NQDC plan — half of which make a “restoration match” designed to fill the gap from the match excluded from the 401(k) plan due to IRS limits. 4. Investment options: A third of organizations use the exact same investment options in the NQDC plan as in their qualified plan, while nearly 30% have a similar, but not exact, lineup. Organizations offer an average of 23 funds in the NQDC plans. 5. Distributions: Nearly 80% of plans allow distributions at separation of service, three-quarters allow them upon death, and half allow them only at a pre-designated time selected by the participant.
NAPA sister organization, the Plan Sponsor Council of America’s most recent NQDC Plan Survey, shows an increased focus on education and retirement readiness, though these plans are still primarily used to differentiate the compensation package for top talent. The findings also show that 78% of respondents provide NQDC-specific education, a notable increase from only half of plans five years ago. While the majority (85.2%) stated that they offer a plan to ensure a competitive benefits package and nearly 60% offer a plan to retain eligible employees, nearly the same percentage offer a plan to help eligible employees accumulate retirement assets (58.8%) and nearly half offer a program to allow highly compensated employees (HCEs) to defer the same proportion of their income as other employees.

Health Savings Account Providers Morningstar’s 2025 Health Savings Account Landscape report, released in October, delved into how new developments – such as the passing of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and advancements in artificial intelligence – could have meaningful impacts on the HSA industry. Additionally, fee competition remains a key factor in driving down costs for investors and expanding the range and quality of HSA offerings. “In nearly a decade of research, we’ve seen the HSA industry mature considerably as more individuals take advantage of the powerful tax advantages and long-term savings potential these accounts offer,” Greg Carlson, Morningstar’s senior manager research analyst, said in a statement. “Progress is uneven, however, with some major providers still falling short in meeting investor needs. Our ratings shine a light on firms that prioritize transparency, usability, and true investor stewardship, helping people better manage the rising costs of healthcare.” Key takeaways included: • H SA assets grew to $146 billion in 2024, marking an 18% yearover-year increase. The attractive tax benefits of HSAs and the widespread adoption of high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) continue to drive growth. • T he enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025 will broaden the accessibility of HSAs and could expand the number of participants by three to four million. Rising contribution limits are also strengthening the appeal of HSAs.
• Fidelity maintains its position as industry leader, receiving a High assessment for its spending and investment account offerings. It has distinguished itself with transparent, low-cost pricing, no investment minimums, and the highest available interest rate among the providers evaluated. • Just four providers – Fidelity, HealthEquity, HSA Bank, and Saturna – earned Above Average assessments or better across both spending and investment accounts, signaling opportunity for broader industry improvement in transparency and ease of use. • Advancements in AI could support industry improvements, as several provider executives indicated increased investment in technology to help enhance users’ online experience and provide participants with more personalized data and recommendations. • HSAs offer significant tax advantages – better than those of 401(k) s, IRAs, and 529 plans. Contributions are tax-deductible, and growth, dividends, and interest are tax-exempt. Withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are also tax-free. Read on to learn about what some of the top companies have to offer in the HSAs they offer. — John Sullivan

Retirement Income We conclude with retirement income providers and products only because it’s the newest category and has yet to experience widespread adoption from plan sponsors and participants. For an industry that’s good with accumulation but could be better with decumulation, the SECURE Act provisions (1.0) boosted retirement income product visibility and utilization. The providers in the following pages are developing innovative solutions to address a very pressing need — a guaranteed source of income that lasts as long as the participants themselves. AND, if you’re looking for more retirement income expertise, check out NAPA’s new certificate program designed for retirement advisors to evaluate, explain, and implement retirement income solutions for clients. The Retirement Income for 401(k) Plans Certificate — (RI(k) — will “help advisors define the importance of retirement income solutions and how they are critical to holistic participant outcomes. Advisors will gain insight into effectively communicating these solutions to key stakeholders, selecting optimal plans based on differing factors, and choosing strategies for continuous learning as solutions evolve in the marketplace.”
NAPABLACKBOOK2025
The certificate program is a self-paced course broken into five interactive modules. Plan advisors will become familiar with retirement income solutions available, the risks they seek to solve, and how to implement them using a prudent process with plan sponsors and participants. “401(k) plans are tremendously successful workplace savings programs, but they are not yet truly retirement plans,” Brian Graff, CEO of the American Retirement Association (ARA) and Executive Director of NAPA, said. “Retirement income solutions have the promise of addressing this gap, enabling participants to receive income in retirement from plan investments. The goal of Ri(k) is to give plan advisors the tools to help plan sponsors and participants effectively utilize these burgeoning retirement income solutions.” — John Sullivan

Unlocking plan participant views on guaranteed lifetime income New study from Allianz Center for the Future of Retirementtm uncovers attitudes, preferences, and growing demand for annuities in employer-sponsored plans ARTICLE BY: Meghan Farrell Senior Manager, Defined Contribution Insights Allianz Center for the Future of Retirement™
Product/feature preferences
Our latest State of Lifetime Income Report delves into what plan participants desire and what motivates them regarding guaranteed lifetime income.
Participants who would consider adding an annuity to their employer-sponsored plan valued full protection from market downturns and growth potential to help address inflation, with 50% and 47% respectively ranking it in their top two features.1 At the same time, at least 9 out of 10 respondents desired features such as flexibility in income payments, the ability to make full or partial withdrawals after income starts, and IRA portability.1 In short, plan participants are interested in products that offer a balance of protection and adaptability to evolving life circumstances.
Retirement risk perceptions
Advice and support models
In retirement planning, the perception of risks plays an important emotional role. Although annuity discussions often focus on longevity risk, our survey indicates that concerns such as inflation, market downturns, unexpected expenses (health-related and non-health-related), and changes to Social Security/Medicare ranked higher as threats to future retirement income.1
73% of participants surveyed expressed interest in annuities as part of their employer-sponsored plan, but said they would need help deciding how much to contribute.1 54% said they would pay a fee for an advice service to manage annuity contributions based on their personal financial situation and goals.1
When it comes to bolstering wider acceptance of annuities as part of employer-sponsored plans, a key area to address is the nuanced needs of plan participants.
Annuities that address these key anxieties through a holistic risk management lens may be wellpositioned to support participants’ needs.
