LET GAMIFICATION ENERGIZE PARTICIPANT ENGAGEMENT.

Humans are game players. We're hard-wired to compete, solve problems, and achieve goals. Enter gamification: the art and science of applying game design to engage and motivate employees. While it has had success with all demographics, it has proven especially effective with millennials, who have grown up with the Internet and online games (earning the label "digital natives"). In the last few years, gamification has entered the mainstream as a proven business strategy.

Next generation thinking. TAP THE POWER OF PEER RECOMMENDATION TO MOTIVATE PARTICIPANTS.

For many, saving money for retirement can be as challenging as losing weight. Both require sustained effort and new habits. Just as weight loss programs use group meetings and Internet forums to create a culture of personal responsibility, the defined contribution (DC) industry is finding that peer influence can be highly effective at fighting procrastination--and encouraging long-term savings habits.

Thanks to services such as auto-enrollment and auto-increase, more American workers are being given the opportunity to enroll and increase their savings levels than ever before.

However, when you consider the job-jumping tendencies of Millennials, the impact of these services can be less positive than anticipated. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average job tenure of Americans today is 4.4 years.

emploYers also face negative impacts Over the long term, inadequate retirement savings may lead to the unintended consequence of a workforce that cannot afford to retire. An older workforce, reluctant to leave the company, could negatively impact a company's:

? Health care costs: It's no secret that it costs more to cover and care for an older, perhaps less-healthy, population.

? Payroll costs: A 65-year-old worker with 15 years of tenure is probably paid more than a 25-year-old worker would be for essentially doing the same job.

? Worker's compensation costs: In manufacturing and other skilled labor industries, there could be a higher risk of job-related injuries.

Proven results from a target date leader

At T. Rowe Price, we believe that investment success comes from balancing market, inflation, and longevity risks. This principle is at the core of our target date philosophy--and serves as the foundation for every decision we make to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients.

Past performance cannot guarantee future results. Results will vary for other periods. *As of 6/30/2015.

What sets T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds apart

COMPETITIVE, DIVERSE UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS 1 T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds are composed of 18 predominately actively managed T. Rowe Price mutual funds.

Because of our disciplined process, several of the standalone underlying funds have been closed to new investors. Through T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds, participants can gain access to what have historically been some of our more popular investment options.

AN EXTENDED GLIDE PATH 2 Allocations continue to shift from equity to fixed income for 30 years after the target retirement date. This exposure to equity

helps continued growth potential--in an effort to keep pace with inflation and maintain purchasing power over the long term.

MANAGER TENURE AND STABILITY 3 Our Retirement Funds reflect the collective thinking of some

of the firm's most senior managers. Lead Manager Jerome Clark has been at the helm since the funds' inception in 2002.

This depth of experience carries over to the underlying funds' managers. Firmwide, our portfolio managers average 17 years' tenure with the firm*--among the longest in the industry.

Glide Path Classification: SENSIBLY REFRAMING "TO VERSUS THROUGH"

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The convention of classifying target date glide paths as either "to retirement" or "through retirement" suffers from a number of significant shortcomings that could lead those who rely on it to make misinformed investment decisions.

The allure of "to/through" is that it provides a simple shorthand method for assessing a glide path's investment objectives based solely on its shape. The problem is that while a glide path's design objectives will influence its shape, it does not follow that a glide path's shape can be translated back to its design objectives.

We prefer a classification system that is solidly objectives-based rather than shapebased. Retirement plan objectives tend to be twofold: lifetime income replacement and limiting the risk of capital loss. Because these objectives compete against each other, glide path design involves the decision of how much to emphasize one objective versus the other.

Our approach attempts to directly measure the emphasis placed on each objective. This allows glide paths to be not only categorized by their direction of emphasis, but also ranked by their magnitude of emphasis.

T. Rowe Price offers two glide paths, each of which attends to both objectives, but with different degrees of emphasis.

It has become customary in the investment industry to employ a shorthand method of classifying target date portfolios as either "to retirement" or "through retirement" strategies based on the shape of their asset allocation glide paths. The purpose of such classification, presumably, is to help investors and retirement plan sponsors identify glide paths that may be suitable for their objectives. This is a noble purpose, one that perhaps arose out of a sense that target date portfolio providers had not communicated their objectives clearly enough, in which case it should not be surprising that some type of classification paradigm arose from the void.

Unfortunately, the "to/through" classification paradigm has serious shortcomings that make it wholly unsuitable for this purpose. The designation between "to" and "through" is a misnomer that serves to confuse more than it does to distinguish. One source of confusion is a lack of agreement on how these terms are defined. Even if a common definition existed, however, the "to/through" classification convention would still be of limited value to investors because its shape-based methodology reveals very little about the objectives a glide path seeks to achieve. Moreover, it forces categorization into one of only two buckets--as if investor preferences were

USERGUIDE

TURN PLAN DATA INTO MORE SUCCESSFUL DISCUSSIONS

Provided by T. Rowe Price

LOOK DEEPER: Knowing the industry, you can now use that information to benchmark the plan against its peer group.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: n Use surveys, case studies, or other well-regarded

studies to benchmark the plan relative to peers.

n Do you advise other plans within that particular industry? If so, you may be able to benchmark it using data you already have.

n Use T. Rowe Price's free benchmarking site: referencepoint. It comprises plan data from more than 800 full-service plans and 2 million participants.

Plan Assets

WHAT IT IS:

Plan net assets and plan net flows as listed on each year's Form 5500 for which data is available.

LOOK DEEPER: n Is the plan growing or shrinking in asset size? n Is the rise or fall in assets due to market

conditions, company growth (or reduction), or recent plan design enhancements?

*All data shown in this brochure is hypothetical; no actual plan data is shown.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: n As the advisor, is the growth or reduction in assets

aligned with the level of service you're providing? n What is the return on investment you're receiving

based on the amount of time spent servicing the plan? n Should you reconsider your level of service, fees, or willingness to retain them as a client?

SECTIONS 3 & 4: Providers & Participants

Providers

WHAT IT IS: The plan's top three providers by role, as listed on each year's Form 5500 for which data is available.

LOOK DEEPER: Take note of how long a plan has partnered with a particular recordkeeper or provider and how long ago they may have made a change.

Participants WHAT IT IS: Active (eligible) participants and participants with balances as listed on each year's Form 5500 for which data is available. LOOK DEEPER: Much like plan asset trends, participant trends can reflect several factors of plan health: n Is the plan growing or shrinking in size? n Is the rise or fall in participants due to company

growth (or reduction), demographic changes (e.g., baby boomers retiring or a recent influx of young employees), or recent plan design enhancements (e.g., implementation of autoenrollment)?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: n Are there opportunities for you to work closer or

in better sync with other providers listed? n Could you obtain plan data or intelligence more

easily from the other providers? n If the plan has been with its current providers for

three to five years, have those providers periodically reassessed plan asset growth or average account balance versus fees charged? Provided the lowest-cost share classes available? Introduced new products and services?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: n If the number of participants has grown

quickly, what has the sponsor done to address or enhance plan design to accommodate a broader participant base? n Has the sponsor considered a possible increased fiduciary responsibility to provide a retirement benefit that will help get their employees to a successful retirement? n Do you, as an advisor, want to take on (or continue to service) a plan with a shrinking participant population?
