July 21, 2025
"The biggest growth in the number of 401(k) plans offered in America over the next five years will overwhelmingly come from the small or 'micro' 401(k) plan market -- consisting of plans with less than $5 million in assets.... Cerulli expects 92% of all 401(k) plans will be in the micro plan segment by 2029 ... [and] forecasts there will be more than one million 401(k) plans by the end of the decade -- an increase of 36% over the next five years."

"The use of actual customer credentials to access accounts is a clear sticking point for Fidelity, because those credentials provide access to a user's full account experience -- not just their 401(k). Plan participant credentials held by third parties are not protected by a recordkeeper's security measures, which can put participant data and personal information at risk."

This is particularly pronounced among Gen Z workers at nearly half (48%). Overall, 67% of employees say they are reducing their contributions across all savings accounts, up 4 percentage points since 2024."

Aug. 29, 2025
"[W]hile companies have touted alternatives as a way to further diversify investments, the funds' high fees, complex nature, and illiquidity could be enough to turn investors and advisors away from utilization.... Ultimately, ... defaulting participants into a strategy with private market investments could end up hurting their savings and breaking their trust in the retirement plan system. "

"In a study of over 50,000 corporate 401(k) plans, 99% were found to have at least one fund with a cheaper, higher-performing alternative available to plan participants....

"With the retirement plan landscape changing fast thanks to SECURE 2.0 changes, a rash of ERISA litigation, and private equity and cryptocurrency looking to crack the 401(k) market, it's time for plan fiduciaries to take a another look at risk management.... Regular compliance audits, comprehensive governance structures, and clearly defined fiduciary responsibilities are essential."

"With the majority of mass-affluent 401(k) participants not working with a financial advisor, a new report from Cerulli finds recordkeepers have an opportunity step in and play a larger role in guiding participant decisions.... According to [the report] recordkeepers should do more to engage with participants by providing prescriptive and actionable recommendations to improve retirement readiness and build relationships."
