WINDSOR, Conn. -- Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA) announced today it has been selected to continue serving as the provider for the City and County of Honolulu’s Deferred Compensation Plan – renewing a relationship built on nearly five decades of trusted service, and reaffirming the City’s confidence in Voya’s retirement experience, participant support model and local support.

Voya’s relationship with Honolulu began in 1979 as the plan’s sole retirement plan provider and will be extended with a new 5 year contract. The new contract resulted from a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process in which Wealthspire Retirement Advisory served as the City and County of Honolulu’s independent retirement plan advisor. The plan consists of a 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan representing approximately $1.2 billion in assets and serves nearly 9,300 participants.

“Our employees dedicate their careers to serving the people of Oʻahu, and they deserve access to high-quality retirement planning resources that help them prepare for the future," said Mayor Rick Blangiardi. "The competitive selection process confirmed that Voya continues to provide the level of service, expertise, and local support our employees have come to rely on. We look forward to continuing this longstanding partnership as we help our workforce build greater financial security and retirement confidence.”

“The extension reflects Voya’s longstanding commitment to combining national-scale capabilities with a deeply embedded local approach – anchored by our Honolulu-based team members who provide hands-on education, personalized guidance, and continuity in service,” said Gavin Gruenberg, Government Market Retirement Sales Leader, Voya Financial. “Over the years, this model has helped drive strong participant engagement, expand access to retirement planning resources, and help employees build greater confidence in their financial futures – fostering five decades of trust with both Honolulu and its employees. Longstanding relationships like these contribute to our average government client tenure of 31 years¹ and are why Voya is the number one provider of 457(b) deferred compensation plans for government entities².”
