WINDSOR, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced today that through a competitive bid process earlier this year, its Retirement business was selected to serve as the new recordkeeper for the Gwinnett County, Georgia, Defined Contribution and Deferred Compensation Plans. The Gwinnett County Retirement Plans Management Committee approved the selection. Segal Consulting and UBS Financial Services both assisted throughout the evaluation process.
