Milliman is fully up to date on emerging trends in the 457 plan sector. For example, we are experts in implementing a move from mutual funds into separate account structures. In the controversial area of how best to provide participant education, we can assist administrators in selecting appropriate vendors to meet their plan needs. We have also been instrumental in establishing trading restriction policies to halt market timing by plan participants.

Whether we are simply providing independent analysis, or serving as plan coordinator and overseeing all vendor activity, Milliman is the top choice of major 457 plan sponsors.
