As a broker-dealer, your advisor partners play a critical role in your business. At the same time, they are relying on you for guidance on the best products for their customers
In most cases, you can offer excellent options to meet their needs. However, what happens when a client operates a small business and wants the tax advantages of a 401k? All of a sudden, there are few good answers.
You could direct them to a traditional 401k provider, but most offer only plans designed for large companies, with features that small businesses do not need and at prices they cannot afford.
Alternatively, you could recommend one of the emerging small business retirement startups—and roll the dice that they will adequately service those highly regulated accounts, without exposing your advisors to significant risk.
We manage the entire 401k process on your advisors’ behalf, handling all aspects of recordkeeping, compliance, administration, and servicing. Your advisors can better serve their small business customers and expand their business in this fast-growing and unserved segment. Meanwhile, you can grow your revenues with exclusive 401k investment lineups, and rest easy knowing that your advisors are working with a partner they can trust.
