Mercer examines emerging governance models and delegated solutions designed to address changing regulatory requirements and resource challenges facing CAP Plan Sponsors
The role of Capital Accumulation Plan (CAP) Sponsors has never been more critical - or more complex. With updated guidelines raising the bar on governance expectations, sponsors face mounting responsibilities. Pressure to deliver more: better member outcomes, greater transparency, and airtight compliance.
For many, that means confronting resource constraints, navigating complex regulations, and shouldering heightened fiduciary responsibilities. But there’s good news - delegated solutions and innovative governance models are emerging as powerful ways to ease the load.
Complex rules and heightened oversight have expanded the scope of fiduciary duties, demanding a more proactive, strategic approach. At the same time, member engagement remains a stubborn challenge. Many participants are disengaged from their retirement planning, requiring sponsors to adopt innovative communication strategies that foster financial literacy and informed decision-making.
Join Mercer on April 15 - 1 PM EST for a high-impact webinar that explores innovative governance models and the growing role of delegated solutions in helping DC Plan Sponsors achieve better outcomes.
Drawing on years of experience in both legal and investment advisory roles, Mercer’s Carl Proulx, DC Delegated Growth Leader in the Montreal Wealth practice, and Leslie Steeves, Principal and Senior Lawyer in Mercer’s Canada Legal and Tax Practice in Toronto, will address the practical and legal considerations DC plan sponsors need to understand as they respond to these higher expectations.
Throughout the session, they’ll share insights on how delegated solutions are gaining traction with sponsors looking to improve efficiency and relieve the increasing pressures of plan management. Delegation is no longer just an option for large plans - it’s a practical, scalable solution that can benefit organizations of all sizes by enhancing governance practices, improving member outcomes, and freeing up internal resources. Attendees will gain clarity on how this model works in practice, the potential for improved investment oversight, and how it aligns with the principles laid out in the updated CAP Guidelines.
