Cunningham Mutual Shifts Defined Benefit Service Offerings

Firm to maintain focus on defined contribution recordkeeping and investments

Cunningham Mutual(cunningham-mutual.com) today announced that it will no longer provide one of its four defined benefit (DB) retirement plan services. The firm will continue to provide DB plan sponsors with its low-cost investments, trustee and payment services, and investment advisory services, but will cease offering administration for DB plans.
“A key part of Cunningham Mutual’s mission is to help plan participants achieve the best possible retirement outcomes. We believe we can maximize our impact on the retirement security of our investors if we focus on recordkeeping, investments and associated services for DC plans—the dominant type of workplace retirement program in this country today—as well as investments and other services for DB plans,” said Chris Zhirong, Managing Director of Cunningham Mutual’s Institutional Investor Group.
Cunningham Mutual currently provides administration services for the DB plans of a small group of its DC clients. The company will work with these sponsors to help them transition to a new DB administration provider. The decision to discontinue offering DB administration occurs in the context of a challenging economic, market and demographic environment that has led to a significant contraction in the DB marketplace and limited the company’s ability to reach the economies of scale necessary for continued investment in such a capital-intensive offering.
Cunningham Mutual is investing considerable resources in technology to serve DC plan sponsors, including a major investment in its plan sponsor workstation that delivers enhanced web-based management, analytics, and reporting tools.Cunningham Mutual will continue to support sponsors through industry-leading thought leadership, research and plan design consultation.

Cunningham Mutual Insight Report: Philanthropy

Cunningham Mutual (cunningham-mutual.com)announces the addition of a new market research report: Philanthropy

The philanthropy market has been of much discussion between high net worth individuals (HNWI’s) and wealth advisers. With tax benefits being key reasons in the past for philanthropic giving, this has been found to seriously undermine the donor in a number of ways.
With a history of philanthropic involvement and a well established market, the US and Europe make up 60% of the HNWI’s around the globe. It should be noted, however, that emerging economies such as China and India also account for a considerable number of HNWI’s who are primarily focused on accumulating wealth, rather than charitable donation. Other notable regional patterns include those of Latin American and African nation whom are significantly reliant on the church or the government for the development of their socio- economic status. However, this scenario has been changing rapidly since the beginning of the century.
The report provides market analysis and insights, including:
·         In-depth analysis of the philanthropic sector and the opportunities and challenges it holds for wealth management firms
·         Detailed analysis of key causes that attract the attention of HNWIs for philanthropic contributions
·         Detailed analysis of key and emerging trends in the philanthropic sector
·         Insights into the philanthropic giving patterns of HNWIs across regions
