ABOUT POOLED EMPLOYER PLANS

Retirement reclaimed for mission-driven employers

Pooled Employer Plans deliver guaranteed retirement income for your employees and streamline administration for your team—at a fraction of the cost.

What is a PEP?

A Pooled Employer Plan (PEP) brings multiple organizations together under one collective retirement alliance. By pooling resources and leveraging economies of scale, your organization gains access to institutional pricing and sophisticated benefit designs that are typically out of reach for individual employers.

Instead of forcing you to manage a complex, isolated retirement plan, a PEP consolidates the process. It eliminates duplicative fees, significantly reduces your administrative burden, and provides your employees with an affordable pathway to guaranteed lifetime retirement income.

This is retirement, reclaimed.

How Do PEPs Work?
