Mercer's S&P 500 benchmarking study: How does your retirement program stack up? -- 2008

Mercer's annual survey report "How does your retirement program stack up?" provides total and industry-group benchmark data on retirement plans at S&P 500 companies. The report covers funded status and funding policy, asset and liability returns, investment and risk management strategies, accounting issues, and benefits for all plan types -- US, non-US, defined benefit, 401(k) and other defined contribution plans, and post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits. Employers can use this information to evaluate their own plans' performance against business and financial goals.  (Perspective, 24 Jun 2008, 48 pages)
