Welcome to Buck Exchange

This month’s top articles from Buck Consultants, plus links to the latest regulatory updates and the Buck Blog.


January, 2012


Innovation is the only real process that any organization can count on to keep the business sustainable and going. This month, Buck Exchange looks at how innovations will help plan sponsors manage the risks they face with their retirement savings programs, health care costs, and communications initiatives as we head into 2012.


Innovation starts with surveying the ground ahead, and Buck has done that in its 2011 Employer and Account Holder Survey of health savings accounts. Clare Pitcher, principal and consulting actuary, writes about the advantages of a new pension plan design, while Buck Global Investment Adviser Robin Pond, in a video interview (from Benefits Canada), looks at how to engage DC plan members.
