PEPs are top of mind right now for employers and advisors alike. What’s driving the interest?

  • Employers want solutions that simplify the experience of launching and operating a retirement plan. This is as true for employers who aren’t yet offering a plan as it is for those who have a plan but are experiencing common struggles with daily plan responsibilities.
  • Advisors have told us they want access to cost-effective, efficient solutions that improve overall client experiences, support long-term client retention—and boost profit margins.

PEPs are powerful because they check the box both for you and your clients. The real key is finding a partner with flexible solutions, advanced technology, proven expertise, and a full array of resources to help you sell with confidence.

Working with Ascensus and our subsidiaries, we’ve got you covered. You have access to affordable, streamlined, customizable PEP solutions that can work right out of the box for you and your clients. Better yet, if you’re new to these types of plans, we have a variety of resources that enable you to position and sell PEPs today to accelerate your business growth.

PEPs for Small Businesses

Small to mid-size clients could be a great fit for a PEP solution since these offerings can reduce employers’ administrative and fiduciary responsibilities. For example, smaller clients may lack the staff, time, or expertise to manage a retirement plan—but through a PEP, they can offload many of their duties and a significant amount of risk to their pooled plan provider.

Share the following articles with your small-plan clients when they are exploring options:
