Marsh Launches BrightPath, a Six-Market Retirement Solution With $116 Billion in Assets

Marsh introduced Marsh BrightPath, a globally coordinated defined contribution retirement solution spanning six markets and representing $116 billion in assets under management, Business Wire reported on November 3, 2026. The solution is built for multinational employers.

How Marsh BrightPath Is Built

Marsh & McLennan said BrightPath brings together its defined contribution retirement offerings across Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The solution combines institutional investment expertise, delegated governance and digital plan member support.

Marsh said the offering is designed to reduce complexity and support better retirement outcomes. It gives multinational employers a clearer global view of how retirement assets are invested, governed and performing, while each local proposition reflects the market's regulatory and workforce needs.

"Managing retirement across markets calls for a global perspective, informed by deep local knowledge and expertise," said Mick Dempsey, President of Marsh Investments and Retirement. "Marsh BrightPath brings our retirement capabilities together in a way that gives multinational employers a clear global view of investment, governance and outcomes, while recognizing that what works for their people will always be shaped locally to their needs."

Christine Mahoney, the Global Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution Leader of Marsh Investments and Retirement, said: "Marsh BrightPath offers one global approach that helps employers manage retirement provisions more effectively, while giving their people clearer visibility into their retirement savings."

The $116 billion figure is presented as of June 30, 2026. Marsh said BrightPath comprises bundled defined contribution solutions that include discretionary asset management services and additional administrative or operational support services, and that plans with bespoke, customized investment mandates are excluded.

According to akta.pro company records, Marsh completed its acquisition of TriBridge Partners on June 1, 2026, strengthening employee benefits and wealth management capabilities in the Mid-Atlantic US. The same records show Marsh announced on May 22, 2026, an agreement to acquire ENEOS Insurance Service Co., Ltd. from ENEOS Holdings, expanding commercial and personal insurance capabilities in Japan.
