SHAPERS series: DC

Conversations shaping the way we think.

On Wednesday 25 March we were delighted to host our first SHAPERS conversation with Adventist HealthCare Retirement Plan (AHRP).

AHRP is a US‑based, self‑administered multi‑employer retirement plan serving Adventist‑affiliated hospital systems, with $14bn in assets under management and over 180,000 participants.

Ray Jimenez, President, shared his real‑world experience of improving engagement and utilisation of AHRP’s retirement income solution. Having rolled out the solution two years ago, Ray discussed:

  • Key challenges encountered along the way
  • Approaches that were tested
  • Honest lessons learned
  • What they would do differently if starting again

The session provided members with practical insights into driving engagement in defined contribution schemes and applying learnings within complex organisational environments.
