SDBAs are brokerage accounts within retirement plans, including 401(k) and other types of retirement plans, which participants can use to invest in stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds and other [financial] securities that are not part of their retirement plan’s core investment offerings.  

Out of 142,000 retirement plan participants, gen X comprised 42% while baby boomers and millennials made up 39% and 13%, respectively. The report also shows that mutual funds hold the majority of participant investment followed by equities representing the second-largest allocation of portfolios across all generations.
