TDFs Tumble from NAPA 401(k) Summit Topic Top 10

Conferences & Events

After a second week of voting and nearly 2,000 votes, we’ve had some major shifts in the poll of topics for the 2020 NAPA 401(k) Summit…

There’s even more to choose from now – nearly 30 new topics (and several repeats) – from readers (like you). And the target-date topics that dominated the first week’s top picks – well, they’ve all been squeezed out (of the top 10, anyway).  

At the end of Week #2, the top trending topics now are:

  1. Plan health metrics, retirement readiness analytics, and benchmarking that help advisors shape plan design and improve their value prop (soaring from #6 last week)
  2. What plan sponsors really think
  3. Lessons from plan audits
  4. Measuring retirement plan success, how are advisors quantifying impact of their work beyond investments and fees
  5. The future of fiduciary is not fiduciary, it’s...     
  6. Coupling education with plan design to drive improved participant outcomes 
  7. Lifetime income – the option everyone wants and (almost) nobody “gets” (#3 last week)
  8. Fee compression is a mirage. Why the perceived race to the bottom is actually a bad thing for participants, plan sponsors, and advisors
  9. The compliance issues that advisors get blamed for (#4 last week)
  10. Disruptive forces in the retirement space (#7 last week)

Like those? Want to see something else? Wonder why your choice didn’t make the cut? There’s still time to have an impact.

As is our custom, we’ve loaded a starter set of topics – ideas from our steering committee, as well as topics that have been heavy and consistent traffic draws on NAPA Net. Our unique online voting tool will bring up two different session topics. You pick the one of the two that you like best – and then you get to pick between another two – and so on.

Don’t like either one? Say so. Got another idea? Add it. Every time you suggest an idea, it’s added to the pool of ideas that others vote on (but note – it won’t show up immediately, and if you add it more than once – well, it won’t be added but a single time).

But beware: This can be addictive.
