Plan Funding
Contributions for the 401(k) Plan come from IQVIA and its employees. Employees contribute to the plan, and IQVIA provides discretionary matching contributions, if applicable. Participant and Company contributions are held in a trust fund administered by a trustee appointed by IQVIA. The trustee is responsible for the management, investment and payment of plan assets, unless the 401(k) Plan Committee either assumes that responsibility or appoints an investment manager to manage plan assets.
Participation and Plan Deferrals
For individuals first hired prior to 2015, participation in the 401(k) plan is generally voluntary and begins as soon as administratively possible after you become eligible for and enroll in the 401(k) plan.
Individuals first hired on or after January 1, 2015 will be automatically enrolled in the 401(k) plan within sixty (60) days of satisfying the 401(k) plan eligibility requirements unless the individual affirmatively declines participation within the 60-day period. Participants who are automatically enrolled will have their deferral percentage election automatically set at three percent (3%) effective January 1, 2018, but may change their future deferral percentage at any time once enrolled, including reducing their deferral percentage to zero.
Plan Trustee
Fidelity is the trustee for the 401(k) Plan. You can reach the trustee at:

No PBGC Guarantee
Benefits under this Plan are based solely on the amounts in the individual accounts. The amounts in individual accounts are not insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") because the insurance provisions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") are not applicable to this type of plan.
