How Pontera supports

Champion choice and expand your impact 

A holistic approach is the new modern. Retirement plan advisors play a pivotal role at the intersection of wealth and retirement and are central to providing guidance on plan design, ensuring compliance and maintaining fiduciary oversight. With Pontera, RPAs can extend expertise to participants directly, helping them manage defined contribution plans as a part of holistic financial planning.

Pontera makes it possible to:

  • Retain strong fiduciary alignment to deliver better participant outcomes
  • Build and retain trust with participants through seamless and full-spectrum planning
  • Enhances the ability to service the wealth needs of participants

Differentiate your platform with secure advisor-enabled management

Recordkeepers are at the heart of participant success.

Pontera unlocks the ability to:
  • Deliver higher participant satisfaction
  • Drive higher asset retention
  • Enhance plan competitiveness and give participants choice by adding advisor-driven account management

Enable choice and elevate participant experience

Plan sponsors want the best for their employees, but participants often seek advice outside the plan. In fact only about one-third of retirement savers feel they have a lot of control over their investment decisions, leaving the majority uncertain and underserved. Pontera changes that. 

With Pontera:

  • Keep assets in-plan by enabling advisors to provide management without rollovers.
  • Enable participants to align their complete retirement and wealth picture with their chosen advisor
  • Enhance plan designs with access to personalized and professional guidance
