David Booth, Chairman and Co-CEO of Dimensional Fund Advisors to Chair PSCA Investment Committee

The Plan Sponsor Council of America (“PSCA”) is proud to announce that David Booth, chairman and co-CEO of Dimensional Fund Advisors, a global asset management firm, has been appointed chairman of the PSCA’s Investment Committee.

In this capacity, David will assist leading Plan Sponsors and industry stakeholders as they apply the science of investing to defined contribution plan management. The Committee’s goal is to encourage the blending of proven real-world investment solutions with innovations in outcome-oriented programs that target income in retirement. 

David’s deep relationships with some of the world’s leading financial economists, including Eugene Fama, Ken French, and Robert Merton, will clearly benefit the PSCA’s 1,200 member companies and 6 million defined contribution plan participants. We are grateful that David has agreed to volunteer his time, resources, and knowledge to help our member firms improve the retirement outcomes of America’s workforce. 

The PSCA will highlight the Investment Committee’s work at our 67th Annual National Conference from September 15-18, 2014, at Miami’s Turnberry Isle.  For more information on the Investment Committee or membership in the PSCA, please contact Bob Benish at 312-419-1863 or [email protected].
