2025 PLANSPONSOR Defined Benefit Administration Survey Report

2025 PLANSPONSOR Defined Benefit Administration Survey Report

PLANSPONSOR’s Defined Benefit (DB) Administration Survey showcases providers in the DB market—who the major players are, who they serve, what services they provide and overall market sizing.

The 2025 PLANSPONSOR Defined Benefit Administration Survey was fielded from May through July via the Qualtrics survey platform.

We collected data from 15 providers of DB plan administrative services and report on number of clients, participants and plans and amount of assets, in aggregate. We also parsed data by DB plan type (traditional and cash balance); service bundling arrangement; and plan status (active, frozen, closed, etc.). For each provider profile, we report DB participants served by plan type, DB clients served by bundle type, sponsor services offered and more. All data are as of December 31, 2024.
