About this file

This file is a Plan Health report prepared by Ascensus for Travis County Healthcare District's Deferred Compensation Plan (Plan ID: 301780) covering the period from September 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025, created on October 6, 2025. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the district's retirement plan performance, including participation rates, savings rates, plan investments, employee investment allocations, and withdrawal activity. The document serves as an internal employer resource for evaluating plan health and comparing performance against industry benchmarks. Key benchmarking data indicates that 77% of retirement plans offer employer matches, 70-82% of plans have auto-enrollment features with varying participation rates, and the report includes analysis of retirement savings across different age bands. The report encompasses detailed sections on plan design, activity summaries by source and investment type, employee savings summaries, and investment performance metrics as of December 31, 2024.

The report is structured for employer use only and contains confidential information not intended for public distribution. It provides context for understanding plan performance relative to other plans on the Ascensus platform, analyzing trends in employer contributions, auto-enrollment effectiveness, and employee retirement readiness. The document includes participation insights organized by age demographics, savings rate analysis, investment utilization and performance data, employee investment allocation strategies, and withdrawal activity including distributions and loan activity. This report directly supports the retirement plan advisory services being sought under RFP 2509-001, as it demonstrates the baseline health and performance metrics of Travis County Healthcare District's existing deferred compensation plan infrastructure that a selected retirement plan advisor would need to evaluate and optimize.

Participation By choosing to offer employees a plan to save for the future, you've made a great decision for them and your business. But the first step to ensure you're maximizing this investment is encouraging employees to join the plan. How many eligible employees are participating in the plan? Which employee groups might not be taking advantage of this important benefit?

These benchmarks represent the participation rates of each of these age bands across our platform. They are calculated by dividing the total number of participating employees—those who have met eligibility requirements and have made or received a contribution—by the total number of eligible employees within each age band.

The Participation Insights & Benchmarks summary provides benchmarking data to help you compare your plan activity to plan averages across our platform. This overview of benchmarking information on our platform is for reference and is not intended to recommend specific action be taken or represent your specific plan provisions or features.

Insights & Benchmarks | Participation

Participation by Age Participation rates for employees under the age of 25 are the lowest overall, but these rates continue to build incrementally across older segments. This trend suggests a ripe opportunity to educate these young employees on the benefits of saving as early as possible. Plan design also plays a key role in whether employees engage with their retirement plan. Features like auto-enrollment or employer match contributions can help increase participation by removing roadblocks and motivating employees to save.

This chart shows a sample of which employee age groups are contributing to retirement plans on our recordkeeping platform for the 2024 calendar year.

Participation Rate = Participating Employees / Eligible Employees

*An eligible employee has met your plan's eligibility requirements as defined in the plan document. A participating employee is an eligible employee who has made or received a contribution (such as an employer contribution).

Savings Rate Once employees have made the decision to enroll in the plan, they must select their personal savings rate.

They often ask themselves: How much is enough? And what's the right rate given competing financial priorities? Here, you get a glimpse into how much from each paycheck employees are contributing to their retirement account and how this decision differs among different demographics. With this understanding, you can get a better grasp of employees' attitudes toward saving and help them make smarter choices about when to re-assess their strategy.

Distributions by Type Your employees can be prompted to withdraw, or take a "distribution," from their 401(k) accounts by a variety of life events, including employment termination, financial hardship, or required minimum distributions (RMDs). Certain distributions allow participants the option to take their money as cash (less any federal or applicable state taxes), or roll over their funds to an IRA or new employer's plan. Rollover distributions are an easy way to consolidate assets and continue saving toward retirement, without any tax implications or potential early withdrawal penalties. Whether individuals choose to keep their money in the plan or roll it over, leaving the money invested is the best way to achieve retirement readiness. While we understand unexpected things can happen, it's important that participants carefully consider their options before deciding to take a cash distribution from their account.

This chart shows which types of distribution events employees on our recordkeeping platform utilized over the course of the 2024 calendar year.
