7 Just get in and drive. Moving the Dial on Plan Health Make it easy for plan participants and plan sponsors to move towards plan health Offer an improved ride from point A to B, without having to worry about all the engineering underneath New Drivers of Plan Health Use advanced tools to power the engine that drives plan health. 7

8 New tools to drive Plan Health : Big data, Personabased marketing and behavioral finance 8

9 Big Data changes the game Evolutions in data collection and analysis allow us to prepare for and influence the future. Descriptive data analysis Captures past data to analyze current state compared to the past. Basis for most common plan health tools today. Predictive data analysis Looks at past data and finds trends to create future projections. Predicts the future based on current behavior. Prescriptive data analysis Takes predicted scenarios and makes recommendations to alter the future state. 9

10 Customization is everything Take a Cue from Retail Advertising: Use data to drive targeted messaging Persona development allows us to provide relevant, timely messages Analyze current state to meet where participants are today Use segmentation to provide targeted communications with the next best step for them Determine communication preferences to reach participants in their preferred medium: in person, in print, online or through innovative technologies 10

11 A primer on behavioral finance The Study of Emotion and Psychology Influencing Financial Decisions 3 Main Obstacles to Good Decisions: Inertia habits and fear of change Myopia inability to connect with future self Loss aversion myopia leads to short-term view, where present losses are magnified 11

12 Turning the tables Using Behavioral Finance to Turn a Negative into a Positive Plan Design Auto enroll with auto invest Auto increase Investment options to accommodate investors of varying sophistication Participant Engagement Connect participants with future selves Show projected monthly income to make future scenarios real Make it easier to take actions to improve outcomes 12

13 Putting new theories into practice: MassMutual s PlanALYTICS SM philosophy

14 Introducing MassMutual s PlanALYTICS SM At MassMutual, We Are Driven by a Single Mission: To help Americans retire on their own terms PlanALYTICS refocuses the definition of plan health to outcomes 14

15 Real data really matters The More Data Provided, the More Precise PlanALYTICS Can Become Some plan health tools use averages to fill the gaps??? For true plan health precision: Every part of the DNA is essential Gaps can t be filled with estimates or guesses??? VS PlanALYTICS connects real data at every level of the retirement plan: From each employee up through the overall plan-level measurement?? Missing data substituted with estimates?? Comprehensive data 15
