LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., May 17, 2013 – Aon Hewitt, the global talent, retirement and health solutions business of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), today announced that it was recognized by PLANSPONSOR magazine as one of 20 Institutional Leaders of the Past 20 Years for its work in retirement.

To celebrate its 20-year anniversary, PLANSPONSOR honored 20 institutions, including plan sponsors, providers, investment managers, trade groups and government entities that have influenced or changed the retirement industry over the last two decades.

According to PLANSPONSOR, Aon Hewitt merited inclusion in the “20 Institutional Leaders” list for its vast breadth of capabilities. “Aon Hewitt does just about everything: It is a fitting construct for an industry that demands specialist expertise but prefers unitary, or at least deep, relationships. The combination of Aon and Hewitt [in 2010] produced a company that offers a deep bench of solutions—retirement plan administration (it is the third-largest recordkeeper in terms of assets) consulting, retirement and workplace benefits consulting, human resource (HR) business process outsourcing and risk management services—across a significant swath of business sizes.”

Aon Hewitt helps companies navigate the risks and complexities of retirement benefits through a full range of services, including actuarial, investment consulting, pension risk services, traditional consulting and plan administration.

“For more than 70 years, Aon Hewitt has been an innovator in the HR industry, designing and implementing comprehensive talent, retirement and health solutions that address current workplace trends and anticipate the needs of tomorrow’s workers while also navigating retirement risk,” said Paul Rangecroft, U.S. Retirement practice director at Aon Hewitt. “We are truly honored to receive this recognition from PLANSPONSOR and remain committed to serving our clients and helping change the way America retires.”
