An employer who sponsors a retirement plan for their employees has overriding fiduciary responsibility for the plan. This solution allows the employer to outsource that responsibility to the highest degree.

PMA TAKES ON OVER

OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES

Department of Labor audits can be costly for your business!

The IRS penalty for late filing of a 5500-series return is $25 per day, up to a maximum of $15,000. The DOL penalty for late filing can run up to $1,100 per day, with no maximum.

The PMA 401(k) Retirement Plan Exchange® Solution & TAG Resources, as named fiduciaries on your plan, will mitigate this risk for you.

OVER TWENTY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

EXPERIENCE OVER ENTHUSIASM

Retirement plan providers are currently struggling to deal with pooled structures. Many are enthusiastically working with pooled plans, such as pooled employer plans (PEPs), for the first time. TAG Resources and Transamerica have been innovators in pooled structures for over 20 years. TAG’s experience has helped them understand how to structure the plan to get the best savings and protection available to you. 

TAG & Transamerica have a proven track record of working together to understand employers’ needs and effectively meeting those needs.

Additionally, retirement plans carry significant fiduciary liability and government compliance exposure for employers. The PMA 401(k) Retirement Plan Exchange® Solution outsources most fiduciary responsibilities and compliance to TAG Resources to the highest extent available. While most retirement plans do not offer this level of fiduciary and compliance assistance, TAG works as your retirement department by becoming a Signatory Named Fiduciary on your retirement plan.

PARTICIPANT EXPERIENCE

DRIVING PARTICIPANT SUCCESS

The participant experience is designed to help people understand if their savings and investment strategy is in line with their retirement goals. It starts with enrollment and continues with personalized communications and financial education showing participants how they can improve their retirement readiness.

Your Retirement Outlook:  Important: The projections or other information generated by the engine (which produces Your Retirement Outlook®) regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical, do not reflect actual investment results, and are not guarantees of future results. Results derived from the tool may vary with each use and over time.

The Retirement Plan Exchange® plan solution is not a multiple employer plan (MEP). Unlike a MEP, certain plan qualification and ERISA requirements are applied at the individual plan level. An employer participating in the plan retains certain fiduciary responsibilities, including responsibility for retaining and monitoring the 3(16) plan administrator, for determining the reasonableness of its fees, and for periodically reviewing the plan as a whole. Transamerica does not act as a 3(16) plan fiduciary.
