- Recruiting, engaging, and retaining employees requires vigilant and effective management of defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans.
- Persistently low interest rates hinder the ability to maximize short-term liquidity and reserve assets.

Employee Education Solutions for Defined Contribution Plans
The retirement benefits you offer have a direct impact on recruiting and retaining top talent — and on your employees’ financial wellness.

Through our customized education solutions, PNC can help your employees get the most from their plans and achieve their retirement savings goals.
Defined Benefit Plan Solutions
Our liability-centric approach to pension management provides you with the opportunity to implement de-risking strategies to address the volatility of your pension funds. Trustee, custody and pension payment services complement our open-architecture OCIO investment management solution.
Liquidity and Fixed Income Management for Corporations
Our suite of fixed income solutions is designed to help you reach your investment goals related to liquidity management, portfolio risk optimization and total return. We craft separately managed fixed income accounts tailored to your unique objectives through PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (PCA) — a registered investment advisor and wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Bank.
Rather than a product-based approach, PCA takes a solutions-based perspective. Our clients benefit from the discipline and risk-focused advice of an experienced team delivering:
• Liquidity solutions for pursuing yield and return goals while also managing the cadence of cash flows.
• Custom solutions that are tailored to your organization’s specific needs and objectives.
• Broad market portfolios that utilize traditional fixed income strategies and benchmark-based
objectives for total return.
Trustee and Custody Services for Corporations
PNC delivers comprehensive trustee and custody solutions to support the safekeeping of employee benefit plan and corporate assets, as applicable, all through a single point of contact. And with our advanced I-Hub system, you have 24-hour online access to transaction processing and account information, including all custody data.
Corporate Responsibility: An Unwavering Commitment to Our Customers, Employees and Communities
We believe that our company should serve a greater purpose. That’s why we’re committed to the success of our employees, customers, and the communities we serve. We strive to minimize our impact on the environment. And we hold ourselves to the highest standards of governance and risk management.
For our customers, our promise is to keep your goals at the center of everything we do. That’s why PNC Institutional Asset Management takes a solutions-based, consultative approach to investments. Rather than trying to sell a product, we start by working to understand your company’s unique needs, and asking “What do you need your assets to do?” Then we explore solutions to meet that goal through a strategic approach to risk that protects our customers and their stakeholders.
We do all of this through strong, local leadership, collaboration with important local organizations, and by maintaining an active presence in the local community.
