The 2015 Best in Class 401(k) Plan designation was given to 401(k) retirement plan sponsors that meet the highest standard of excellence, as deemed by PLANSPONSOR’S research and editorial team. Recipients of the 2015 Best in Class 401(k) Plan designation were selected from the almost 4,000 401(k) plans that responded to PLANSPONSOR’s annual Defined Contribution (DC) Survey.
Each 401(k) plan participating in the survey was evaluated and scored on its usage and implementation of more than 30 criteria related to plan design, oversight/governance and participant outcomes. Plans needed to have certain features to be considered, such as an above average participation rate, use of automatic escalation and an employer contribution—discretionary or nonelective. Other criteria were not mandated but did earn the plan additional points, such as auto-enrollment, short eligibility schedules and immediate vesting.
The 29 plans we recognize here as “best in class” represent diverse industries and participant demographics. However, they still share many attributes—for example, all offer both matching and profit-sharing/nonelective contributions. As one might expect, the winning plans also consistently topped their peers in terms of outcomes and the prevalence of participant-friendly practices, featuring higher average deferral rates, more available advice and regular fee benchmarking.

Manager Change in the International Stock Option
Monday, June 8th, 2015The American Century Intl. Growth Fund was terminated and removed from the International Stock Option on 5/29/15. The fund was terminated due to a recent manager change and performance that had consistently detracted from this investment option. The funds were moved into the International Stock Option’s index fund – BlackRock ACWI Ex US IMI Index until the board finds a suitable replacement fund. The new International Stock Option target allocation is as follows:
Manager | Previous Target Allocation | New Target Allocation effective 5/29/15 |
American Century Intl. Growth | 10% | 0% |
Templeton Instl. Foreign Equities | 12% | 12% |
