Methodology
The 2024 PLANSPONSOR Defined Benefit Administration Survey was fielded from April through June via the Qualtrics survey platform. Data were collected from 17 providers of DB plan administrative services. In aggregate, we reported on overall DB admin clients, participants, plans and assets. We then reviewed other data points on DB plan and cash balance plans by type and DB plans by bundled type and by plan status. On each provider profile, we highlighted the various data points relating to DB participants by plan type, DB clients by bundle type and sponsor services offered. All data are as of December 31, 2023. To participate in the 2025 DB Administration Survey, please email
