P&A401(k) is no "off-the-shelf",
pre-packaged 401(k) platform! We offer a high degree of flexibility and
customization to our Plan Sponsors.
Investment Flexibility
Our recordkeeping platform provides access to thousands of load-waived and
true no-load mutual funds, both index and actively managed. We also offer
self-directed brokerage accounts and will hold employer stock as well.
Optional Asset Allocation Portfolios
Choosing
investments can be a daunting challenge for many 401(k) participants which
often leads to costly investment mistakes (i.e. “return-chasing” or
market timing).
We have had great success (and increased participant satisfaction) in
plans that include our Pre-Allocated Model Portfolios as investment choices.
By answering a few brief questions, participants can quickly
determine which portfolio is right for them.
And once they are enrolled, their accounts are automatically
“rebalanced” on a periodic basis.
Pricing Flexibility
We pull all of the hidden costs 401(k) plan out from "behind the curtain"
in order to help you, the Plan Sponsor, better understand the true cost
of running your plan. After all, every dollar of unnecessary expenses
we can save is a dollar that stays in your participant's accounts. Our
recordkeeping platform allows us to structure our compensation either
as an asset-based percentage (on the plan as a whole or fund-by-fund)
or as a flat dollar charge - the choice is yours.
Full Administrative Capabilities
Employer sponsored retirement plans are complex and require effective communication
and accountability between the investment record keeper and the plan's third-party
administrator. P&A 401(k) reduces the chance breakdowns by bundling all
401(k) services into one efficient and client friendly package.
Effective Participant Communications
- A user friendly, interactive participant web site
- Easy to understand enrollment materials and participant statements
that come with an attached newsletter. Statements can even include a
personalized message from the Plan Sponsor.
- Personalized communication programs designed to encourage and increase
employee participation.
- Telephone voice response participant account access.
