Revealed in a study administered by Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc., nearly 74% of retirement plan sponsors surveyed offer automatic features and investment guidance to their employees. Plan sponsors are finding that more of their employees are saving for their retirement since incorporating an Automatic Enrollment feature to their plan and find that their participants are taking a more strategic approach to meet their retirement goals through the provided investment guidance tools.

Employers are also offering more investment opportunities in conjunction with automatic features and investment advice. 76% of plan sponsors surveyed currently offer target dated funds within the investment line-up of their retirement plan, allowing their participants a more diversified investment approach.
