The document discusses a model being developed to project DC plan cash flows based on evolving generational demographics. It analyzes how contributions and distributions may be impacted out to 2045. Several scenarios are explored to test how incremental savings increases from Millennials and Gen Xers could offset expected distributions from retiring Baby Boomers. Key insights include that contributions may not outweigh distributions until the late 2020s or early 2030s without changes to savings rates among younger cohorts. Plan design features and targeted campaigns may be needed to increase savings 1-2% from Millennials and Gen Xers to accelerate the timeline.

DC Model Shows Millennial Savings Can Offset Boomer Distributions by 2025
1. MODEL DEVELOPMENT
June 29th, 2015 – RPS Team Meeting
USIS Client Market Insights
Macro Trends Impacting DC Contributions & Distributions
2. 2
Project Overview
Hypothesis
– While the RPS Segment and the markets it participates in will remain
under pressure due to growth in distributions taken by Boomers entering
retirement there are distinct strategies that can offset this macro trend if
executed effectively.
Objective of this project
– Develop a model that will help RPS leadership better understand the
evolving generational demographic effect on DC Plan cash flows by
projecting into the future and testing when, if ever, contributions might
outpace distributions from an industry perspective.
Complex and interdependent set of variables
– Industry experts such as EBRI, Cerulli, the Federal Reserve, the
Department of Labor and academic sources we researched have not
generated research on this issue beyond a five to seven year window.

Inputs & Challenges
Model Inputs Modeling Challenges
Minor variations in employment
populations, savings rates, and market
performance can paint completely
different outcomes relative to
contributions and distributions
Product innovation, particularly the
impact of income solutions, along with
regulatory and/or legislative actions
would have significant impact on our
analysis
Our current model utilizes population
trends and employment participation
rates as primary variables
Broadly, the number of variables and
their interrelations increase model
complexity driving our decision to focus
on a narrower set of variables

Agenda
1. Demographic Affects on DC Net Flows (Recap)
2. Sensitivity Analysis of incremental contributions by
Millennial Cohort to offset Boomer Distributions
3. Demographics of the RPS Book & Comparison to
Record Keeping industry
4. Demographic Analysis of Top 10 RPS Clients
5. Distribution Behavior of Generational cohorts
6. Demographics of TDF Industry & at TRP
7. Plan Design Features & Age Segmentation Programs
to increase savings from Millennial Cohort
6. 6
Demographic Affect on DC Net Flows
Flows pressured net negative by boomer exit for next 20 years (2014-2035)
If Millennials exhibit similar behavior as Boomers, DC Flows will turn positive
Implications:
As Boomers exit there is a shrinking pool of DC Cash Flow & Greater
Competition to capture flows
Sources: Cerulli/JPM ( 2003-2036), TRP CMI (2036-2045)
DC Flows have been positive for last 10-20 years

What’s driving Flows: ‘Retirement Sprint’ Years
2010 Boomers
2014 Population Facts:
Millennial Population: 91M (1980 – 2000) are 14-34 years old
Baby Boomer: 75M (1946-1964) are 50-68 years old
Gen X – 61M: (1965-1979) are 35-49 years old (20% less than Boomers)
Gen Z – 57M: (2001-2020?) are 0-13 years old ---> From projections this cohort will be on par with Millennials if not exceed
There are 50% more Millennials than Gen Xer’s & 21% more Millennials than Baby Boomers
2045 Millennials
2025-2030 Gen X

What’s driving Flows: Work Force Demographics
Sources: BLS ( 1992-2014), TRP CMI (2014-2060)
9. 9
What’s driving Flows: ‘Age Wave Gap’ - Gap in DC Saving
2014 Population Facts:
There are 50% more Millennials than Gen Xer’s & 21% more Millennials than Baby Boomers
Millennial Population Count – 91M
Baby Boomer – 75M
Gen X – 61M ( 20% less than Boomers)
Gen Z – 57M but expected to rise
As the large Boomer population ages we observe
work force dips from Boomers leaving and not
enough Gen Xer’s replacing them. This begins to
change in 2028+ as the Millennials age.

Key Assumptions for Sensitivity Model
Employment Population Projections
Held 2014 US Employment Participation Rates by age constant and applied census projections to get future workforce totals & share
Plan Population Projections:
Held 2014 U.S. DC Plan Participation & Employment Participation rates by age cohort as a constant rolling forward (JPM & BLS Data)
Applied 2010 U.S. Census population projections to the rates above to get future DC plan participation total & share by age cohort
Contribution Projections:
Held 2014 Avg Income of Full Time employed by age cohort as a constant and applied a 2% annual income growth rate for
projections (BLS)
Applied 2014 Avg Deferral Rate by Age Cohort as a constant (Vanguard)
Net Flow Projections:
Used JPM’s Reported Net Flows for 2008-2036; For 2036-2045 assumed Millennial’s, as they age, will exhibit similar retirement
savings behaviors as Boomers and that historic net flows would repeat as Millennials reach ‘Retirement Savings Sprint’ in 2045
Distribution Projections:
Distributions are the difference between Contributions & Net Flows
Held the share of Distributions by each Age Cohort in 2014 as a constant and applied it to projected Distributions

Demographics Comparison:
TRP RPS & the Competitive DC RK Landscape
EBRI Data: DC Universe vs TRP RPS - Share of Assets by Age group
EBRI Data: DC Universe vs TRP RPS - Share of Participants by Age group
TRP has a higher
share of participants in
the 20 year old cohort
TRP has a lower share
in the 30-50 year old
buckets than industry
Assets by age group
are similar to the
industry except RPS
skews a little younger

Plan & Product Design: Improve Millennial Savings
Our book resembles Industry so the 1-2% increase in Millennials & Gen X savings rates
should be an appropriate target
Influence increases in Auto Enroll default deferral
43% of RPS Plans elect a 3% Deferral Rate
23% of RPS Plans elect a 6% Deferral Rate
Influence Auto Increase Opt Out Plan Design
38% of Plans use Opt-Out Method has an 66% participant adoption rate
62% of Plans use Opt-In Method has an 11% participant adoption rate
Implement Specific Age Relevant Campaigns or Plan Design features to modify savings
behavior by age or salary
Influence Plan Sponsors to increase match incentives (stretch match)
Educate Plan Sponsors & Participants of the immediate importance of increased savings
behavior less focus on outcomes
Increase efforts to get Boomers & X’ers to save 1-2% more
Incentivize Sales Staff to influence Plan Design Changes
Solutions to keep money in plan

Key Insights & Facts
U.S. workforce is currently at an inflection point across generational
cohorts impacting DC Cash Flows
“Retirement Sprint”; age 45 - 64 years are peak for savings and account
balances
Next 15 - 20 years (2015 – 2035) shows a dip in the “Retirement
Sprint ” employment rate as the smaller Gen X population enters the
sprint
T Rowe Price
60% of assets & 40% of participants are held with Boomer generation
Need to increase savings of younger generations by 1-2% to offset
Boomer outflows
Need to influence better plan & product design adoption to increase
overall savings & keep more money in plan
Decreasing Plan Size has implications for Fees & Pricing
23. The Wealth Business impacted by Boomer Redemptions
As our investor base ages, net new flows will be pressured by increased redemptions among retiring
baby boomers

Editor's Notes
Some plan & product design features that we can influence to encourage higher savings with participants. Either by age or salary. AE, AI, campaigns, match etc.
Increase savings of younger generations or higher salaried individuals…
