OneAmerica^® Recognized for Service in PLANSPONSOR Best in Class Awards

Results from the PLANSPONSOR magazine 2018 Annual Defined Contribution (DC) Survey showcase the strength of OneAmerica^® as a service-focused recordkeeper in the primary asset markets in which the company does business.

“These honors mean a great deal to us because they come directly from our retirement plan sponsors reflecting on their experience with our OneAmerica team,” said Sandy McCarthy, president of Retirement Services for OneAmerica. “Each day we strive to provide superior service to our participants and clients, from the smallest to the largest, and what we’re hearing reaffirms that we’re not only meeting but exceeding their expectations.”

OneAmerica was awarded PLANSPONSOR Best in Class awards in all sponsor service/support categories across the four asset markets the company qualified. An award is earned by being one of the top three providers in a specific category or by achieving net satisfaction higher than the category benchmark.  OneAmerica earned 12 of its total 27 awards for Sponsor Service/Support. Subcategories include plan/industry knowledge, responsiveness and consistency, and regulatory/compliance support.

“The 12 awards OneAmerica received in Sponsor Service/Support category was a three-award increase from the 2017 PLANSPONSOR DC Survey. This increase speaks to our focused relationship strategy,” McCarthy added. “Our people, our culture and the services we provide are a differentiator for us. Our sponsors feel our commitment and know that they can trust us to support their needs.”

Overall, OneAmerica received 27 Best in Class awards. OneAmerica was sixth in $25 million to $50 million asset markets, eighth in the $5 million to $25 million asset markets as well as the $50 to $200 million markets, and OneAmerica was No. 10 in the under $5 million markets. OneAmerica was one of nearly two dozen retirement plan providers eligible for ranking by the publication.

In addition to the company-focused awards, a OneAmerica client was nominated in a separate PLANSPONSOR competition, the 2019 Plan Sponsor of the Year awards. Kokua Kalihi Valley (KKV) of Honolulu, Hawaii is one of four finalists in the “Nonprofit DC under $250 million category.” KKV provides accessible and appropriate health care services for low-income, Asian and Pacific Island immigrant population. A winner will be announced March 28 at the 2019 PLANSPONSOR / PLANADVISER Excellence in Retirement Awards Dinner.

The plan advisor is Shawna Christiansen, Managing Director – Retirement Benefits Group, LLC, of San Diego.

“The Plan Sponsor of the Year awards recognize retirement plan sponsors that show a commitment to their participants’ financial health and retirement success,” said McCarthy. “We’re proud that KKV has been recognized and we’re pleased to collaborate with them in an effort to help their participants prepare for retirement.”
