Brian Anderson / Lorianne Pannozzo

As retirement planning strives to become more personalized, plan sponsors are under increasing pressure to offer solutions that meet participants where they are—not just by age or account balance, but by considering their full financial picture. That’s where workplace managed accounts can really make a difference.

Lorianne Pannozzo, Senior Vice President, Personalized Planning & Advice at Fidelity Investments and leader of the firm’s workplace managed accounts program, joins us to explain the increasing demand for managed accounts, and also to dig into new Fidelity research on what participants value most about them and what that means for retirement plan advisors and plan sponsors.
