DC Assets Account for a Greater Percentage of Total Family Assets

In another sign of the importance of DC plans, the Fed reported in its triennial Survey of Consumer Finances that DC plan balances accounted for 61.4 percent of families’ total financial assets in 2010, up from 58.1 percent in 2007, as median net worth declined 38.8% and income declined by 7.7%.

We also recommend subscribing to Nevin’s weekly newsletter, EBRIef.
