We believe everyone deserves access to fiduciary advice

We offer participants a variety of ways to access the fiduciary advice they want and need.

Empower Dynamic Retirement Manager™

Empower Dynamic Retirement Manager (DRM) is a qualified default investment alternative (QDIA). Unlike target date or risk-based funds, DRM offers two professionally managed investment solutions, one for employees starting their careers and a second for those closer to retirement with more complex retirement planning needs.

Today customers have become accustomed to personalized recommendations in many aspects of life. That’s why we believe QDIAs should be as unique as your employees.

How does DRM work?

DRM is a dynamic QDIA that integrates the benefits of a target date fund, or model portfolio, with those of a managed account. Employees starting their career are defaulted into a target date fund, for example, and then at an age predetermined by the plan transitioned into My Total Retirement™, the Professional Management Program or Advisor Managed Accounts.1

There is no guarantee provided by any party that participation in any of the advisory services will result in a profit.

The benefits of DRM

DRM helps employees benefit from timely, personalized advice, and personalized advice at the right time may help make a difference. Participants who work with an advisor may be on track to replace more income in retirement. Those who receive advice:

Are 2x more likely to use tax-optimized savings strategies.2
Are 9x less likely to react to market volatility.3

Employees receive an easy-to-understand communications experience through the transition to a personalized retirement strategy
