Financial Engines is named as a service provider on the Schedule C of 81 retirement plans with 100 or more participants for plan year 2024, covering 1,789,371 participant records. Most often it is reported for investment advisory and management.

Reported compensation from those plans, direct and indirect, totalled $74.0M. Per plan, the median was $34.38 per participant, with the middle half of plans between $13.27 and $69.58. These are amounts plans reported paying this organisation, not a price list: they depend on which services each plan buys and on how much is paid through fund expenses instead.

Its client plans are most numerous in California (10), Texas (10) and North Carolina (7).

In 2009 it appeared on 40 such filings; in 2024, 84. Yearly counts include every filing that names it, so they can run slightly above the number of plans with pages here, and name or EIN changes after mergers can break the series.

Questions and answers

How many plans does Financial Engines serve?

81 plans with 100 or more participants named it on Schedule C for plan year 2024. Plans that paid it under $5,000, small plans that file Form 5500-SF, and plans whose filings spell its name without an EIN under a different form are not counted.

What do plans pay Financial Engines?

The median plan reported $34.38 per participant in direct and indirect compensation (81 plans reporting an amount), or 0.02% of plan net assets. Eligible indirect compensation disclosed to the plan by formula is not reported as a dollar amount, so many filings understate what a provider receives.
