WINDSOR, Conn., March 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced today that its subsidiary, Voya Institutional Plan Services, LLC, has been selected as the new recordkeeper for the City of Milwaukee Deferred Compensation Plan.
The City of Milwaukee Deferred Compensation Plan is a voluntary 457(b) defined contribution plan that allows public employees of the city to set aside funds from each paycheck toward their retirement.

"Additionally, we are excited about Voya's data-gathering and analysis capabilities that we hope will enable the plan, over time, to evaluate our overall effectiveness in helping our employees to retire at the desired time, to retire with dignity and to enjoy sufficient income throughout retirement."
As part of its commitment to advancing the retirement readiness of Americans, Voya will provide administrative and recordkeeping services for Milwaukee's retirement plan as well as a variety of decision-making and planning tools.
