Closing off the year, the Institutional Investor 2021 Washington, DC summit will feature panels, presentations, conversations, and engagements on a whirlwind of retirement-related news and industry trends surrounding the investment and regulatory landscapes that have been gathering pace before the pandemic and look at how the events the past year and a half have impacted their trajectories.

The hybrid Washington DC event will tackle some of the following topics:

• The national and global macroeconomic markets that we face, and how plan sponsors can navigate them with the limited and siloed resources on hand, and more importantly, efficiently communicate to participants.

• Lessons we can learn from the DB plans of old as we continue to craft an effective retirement income strategy in this brave new world of DC-dominated retirement journeys.

• Have investment options like target-date funds done their jobs amid the crises that they have now experienced, and how can plan sponsors balance fees and the desire for more comprehensive investment options?

• Lessons learned from abroad and from state auto-IRA programs as we try to achieve higher DC coverage for American workers.

• Where do we go from here on the regulatory front with SECURE 2.0 and budget reconciliation?
