"Defined benefit (DB) plans sponsored by Fortune 1000 companies entered 2023 with an aggregate funded position of 100.1%, remaining almost unchanged at a level of 99.1% by year-end, stationed at fully funded levels. Throughout the year, discount rates remained relatively stable, though a slight decline contributed to higher pension liabilities as measured by projected benefit obligations (PBOs)."

"Aggregate plan assets grew by over 20% in 2013 -- up considerably from 13% in 2012 -- with most of the growth attributable to investment income. Several of these employers introduced the non-matching contribution to the DC plan shortly after freezing or closing the DB plan. 48% of these Fortune 100 companies had automatic enrollment, and 58% provided for automatic increases in employee contributions over time."

"By year-end 2013, only 24% of Fortune 500 companies offered any type of DB plan to new hires, down from 60% for the same selection of employers back in 1998.... Half the pension sponsors in this analysis have adopted a hybrid plan and 57% were still offering it to new hires at the end of 2013. Certain industry sectors, as well as employers whose pensions are relatively small ... and/or well-funded, are more likely to continue offering pension plans to new hires. While the end of pension accruals represents a substantial loss for employees, most employers then contribute more to the DC plan to at least partially make up for it."

The median value of total cash compensation increased 8% over the last year, while median stock compensation remained flat.... The median retainer paid to compensation committee members increased 25% last year and now equals what audit committee members receive ($10,000)."

"In 2012, the number of Fortune 100 companies offering new salaried employees only a defined contribution (DC) plan rose, as it has for many years. Today, less than a third of these companies offer any DB plan to newly hired salaried workers, and only 11 still offer a traditional DB plan to new hires."

13 pages. Excerpt: From 2009 to 2010, the number of Fortune 1000 companies sponsoring a frozen pension plan increased by 4%. After peaking in 2006, the overall freeze rate has remained relatively constant over the last three years, as the economic climate has remained uncertain. Meanwhile, the number of sponsors of defined benefit (DB) plans (both active and frozen) in the Fortune 1000 has continued to decline modestly, as new entrants to the list are more likely to sponsor only defined contribution (DC) plans.
