From many to few: survey reveals trends
Article Abstract:
The Greenwich Associates annual survey of US pension fund management (PFM) firms indicates a trend toward placing most of their assets with one, or very few money managers. The managers best positioned to exploit this trend have a good performance record over a wide range of products. The trend will not necessarily result in marked consolidation within the money management industry. The survey also reveals a continuing trend toward the rapid growth of international investments by pension funds.

'Hybrid' plans fit evolving workforce
Article Abstract:
Employers have begun to offer modified defined benefit plans for their employees that accommodate the higher turnover rate of employment among youthful employees. For example, BellSouth provides a cash balance plan which acquired credits and interest for the entire period that the employee stays in the company. Meanwhile, Countrymark Cooperative provides pay credits to employees depending on the years they have been at the company, while interests are credited using Treasury bill rates.

401(k) participation up, GIC investments down
Article Abstract:
The 38th Annual Survey of Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plans by the Profit Sharing/401(k) Council of America reveals that employee participation in 401(k) plans increased by 80.1% in 1994 over the previous year. Current trends also point out the growing popularity of more diversified investments over guaranteed investment contracts. Findings further show that company contributions to 401(k) plans, as percentage of total annual payroll, grew from 2.9% in 1993 to 3.2% in 1994.
