Improve retirement outcomes

Strengthen client relationships

Over 60% of investors are looking for more help with their retirement accounts1, and advisors who integrate Pontera into their practices report adoption rates of up to 80% among eligible clients. By partnering with Pontera, advisors can employ cohesive rebalancing and tax strategies across their client portfolios.

Comprehensive plan analysis

Pontera simplifies the analysis of plan retirement funds by displaying comparisons of fund options, fees, and allocations in standard view, regardless of the custodian. The platform helps eliminate the risk of human error, such as mistaking a Collective Investment Trust (CITs) for a publicly available fund. Advisors can easily find plan prospectus information with a click of a button to make recommendations that are in the best interest of their clients.

Maintain compliance with regulations that protect clients

Pontera helps advisors stay in compliance with regulations that protect their clients, particularly in the realms of account custody, supervision, and level-fee billing. The platform never shares client login credentials and purposefully prohibits client account access, disbursements, transfers, and beneficiary changes. Pontera’s supervision module annotates all advisor account reviews and rebalances, creating a clear, downloadable audit trail of activities. Finally, when it comes to IRA rollovers, clients can be rest assured decisions are made in their best interest now that their advisor has the ability to provide the same level of service, in plan (removing potential conflict of interest as outlined in DOL PTE 2020-02).

Alleviate Compliance Challenges

Assist more clients

The median American family holds more than half of their assets in retirement funds1 and may not know professional advisory is an option for them. By partnering with Pontera, your firm can provide a clear path to helping retirement savers align these investments with the rest of their portfolio and retirement goals.

 
Multiple Account Management - Smaller

Safeguard client data

With Pontera, financial advisors can eliminate poor cybersecurity practices such as storing client account credentials, accessing client accounts on custodian websites, or requesting sensitive account documents via email. Instead, the platform enables secure, client-permissioned account management without ever providing client credentials to the advisor. Pontera is SOC 2 certified by EY and employs bank-level encryption, security architecture, and regular pen testing to ensure that client data is protected. To provide ultimate peace of mind to the advisor and their clients, Pontera offers a Commitment to Client Protection
