Transparent. Reasonable. Competitive.
Our fee-structures are designed to be simple & fair - consisting of a base monthly Plan Administration & Compliance fee as well as a monthly Recordkeeping charge for each employee participating in the Plan. Additionally, we charge a modest asset-based fee that underwrites all of our services and declines as Plan assets accumulate. We can structure plans within our Pooled Employer Plan (PEP) or on a traditional "stand-alone" basis; whereby we've created three distinct prototype plan designs, to streamline the decisions required to establish a workplace retirement savings plan for your business.
