Plan Design & Administration Committee

The Plan Design & Administration Committee provides a forum for sharing best practices in plan design and administration, including the use of institutional investment approaches. It supports plan sponsors by benchmarking plan features and governance standards, encourages strong operational practices, delivers education tailored to multiple audiences, and serves as an operational and technical resource for projects led by other DCIIA committees.

Featured Committee Projects

Content is provided in brief, focused topic papers designed to provide a helpful overview of each area. Each asset class paper offers an overview of strategies/structures available and highlights key considerations for implementation and otherwise.
