Evaluation process of DC provider and investment options in Japan

 

Overview

Whilst the DC plan sponsors generally outsource large proportion of its operation to DC provider, the Japanese DC regulations legally require plan sponsors to conduct regular assessments of product line-up and DC related services since it could significantly influence participant’s investment outcomes.

In this seminar, Mercer Japan's consultant will present best practices of the assessment; explaining recent legislative updates on the Japanese DC regulations. This seminar will be conducted in both Japanese (on July 15) and English (on July 20). It would be very much appreciated if you could also share this link with your overseas Head Office, relevant Local Office and regional colleagues who may have interest in this subject matter.
