Morningstar Retirement Manager, a new retirement planning service including advice and managed account assistance, will be available next month to defined contribution plan sponsors, said Kathryn Allyn, Morningstar Associates product development manager. Services are available online, in print or through a call center. Early next year, Morningstar will also offer the service - including investment advice and managed account services - to individuals who have already retired as well as individual investors who do not receive Morningstar Retirement Manager through company-sponsored retirement plans. "We tried to help simplify for employees how to approach retirement and why they should invest in the first place," Ms. Allyn said.
