A new survey finds that nearly 92 percent of decision-makers at U.S. public retirement systems believe their organizations would benefit from increased use of data analytics. And, 80 percent said analytics can help retirement organizations improve benefits to members, including portfolio performance and risk, minimizing error and fraud, and streamlining records and transactions.
