Voya Receives DALBAR ESG Retirement Plan Certification
Voya Financial announced that it has become what it says is the first publicly-traded company to receive an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Retirement Plan Certification from DALBAR.
Voya received the certification, along with a five-star rating, for the 401k plans offered to its own employees. DALBAR’s ESG Plan Certification is an annual process to evaluate a plan's success in actively applying ESG principles to its retirement plan.

Is your 401(k) ESG? There's a certificate for that
A recently launched pilot program from financial services company auditor Dalbar examines 401(k) plans on their ESG merits.That program, ESG Certification for Retirement Plans, rates 401(k)s with up to five stars and tells plan sponsors what they can do to improve their plans on the basis of environmental, social and governance criteria.
That does not necessarily mean adding ESG-specific mutual funds, ETFs or collective trusts to the investment menu. Rather, Dalbar CEO Lou Harvey said, the most important considerations are how ESG-friendly a plan is in its overall design, administration and participant outcomes. For example, that includes whether plan committees go through reams of paper.

Variable Annuities: Winning By Not Surrendering
After all the analysis is done on rates, fees and performance, there is really one key metric that means more than the others - patience.
Great returns don't mean much if investors motivated by emotion or misplaced confidence in their market timing skills jump in and out of funds. When investors jump, those small gaps widen to large gulfs between what they accumulate and what they could have amassed for retirement.
