Broadridge's Access Data team also provides data services and reporting to the leading DCIO fund firms in the industry to help those firms track defined contribution sales made by advisors that partner with leading independent recordkeeping platforms like ADP, Schwab, The Standard, and others.

"We decided to partner with Broadridge for this important offering because of its suite of products and services for the retirement services industry, but also the specific expertise of its Access Data team to manage and enhance defined contribution data. This offering is a critical aspect of our plans to service our distribution partners, provide information to our fund d partners, and assist our sales and marketing teams to grow our business," said Chris Augelli, Vice President, Product Marketing and Business Development, ADP Retirement Services.

Defined contribution assets are forecast to grow to $6.7 trillion over the next five years. The key to unlocking that growth lies in knowing where those opportunities exist. The fastest growth segment for defined contribution assets is generated by the small to medium-sized plan segment supported by independent recordkeeping platforms.
