Voya Financial has signed a definitive agreement to buy OneAmerica Financial’s full-service retirement plan business for an undisclosed sum.
This move is expected to enhance Voya’s full-service retirement business, adding around $47bn of assets to its emerging and mid-market segments and around $15bn of recordkeeping assets to the large market segment.
The acquisition will see Voya’s wealth solutions defined contribution client assets increase to $580bn, with the total retirement plan and participant count hitting 60,000 and 7.9 million, respectively.
It aligns with Voya’s goals to expand its workplace solutions businesses and support a greater number of participants with their workplace benefits and savings needs.
OneAmerica Financial’s full-service retirement plan business includes a range of plans such as 401(k), 403(b), 457, non-qualified deferred compensation plans and employee stock ownership plans.
This deal not only brings new capabilities to Voya’s product suite but is also expected to present opportunities to broaden its distribution network and deepen existing advisor relationships.
