Voya Retained as Single Service Provider for Nevada Public Employees’ Deferred Compensation Program
WINDSOR, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced today that its Retirement business will continue to provide sole recordkeeping services for the State of Nevada Public Employees’ Deferred Compensation Program. Segal Marco Advisors, an independent defined contribution plan consultant, assisted the Nevada Public Employees’ Deferred Compensation Program in its evaluation process.
The Nevada Public Employees’ Deferred Compensation Program is a voluntary 457(b) retirement savings plan available to all State of Nevada employees, including those in the Nevada System of Higher Education (NHSE) and other local government employers. The program is designed to supplement participants’ retirement savings and pensions. As of Dec. 31, 2019, the Nevada Public Employees’ Deferred Compensation Program had more than 54,000 eligible participants representing approximately $900 million in assets under administration.
Voya first began its relationship supporting Nevada’s retirement program more than 15 years ago. Effective in 2015, the Nevada Public Employees’ Deferred Compensation Program consolidated all program assets under a single service provider and selected Voya as its sole recordkeeper. As the result of a competitive bidding process, Voya’s contract has now been extended another five years.
As part of its commitment to advancing the retirement readiness of all Americans, Voya will provide Nevada Public Employees’ Deferred Compensation Program participants with localized support and access to industry-leading educational tools and resources. These include Voya’s myOrangeMoney® retirement-income-estimating capabilities and participant website experience, as well as communication and education programs designed to engage and motivate employees to save and achieve their financial wellness needs.
“Given our long-standing relationship, we’re proud that the Nevada Public Employees’ Deferred Compensation Program continues to place its trust and confidence in Voya to help its public employees save for a secure financial future,” said Heather Lavallee, president of Tax-Exempt Markets for Voya’s Retirement business. “We are committed to providing our government clients — including some of the largest retirement systems in the U.S. — with the guidance and support they need to help their participants plan, invest and protect their savings so they can retire better.”
