Professional help, leading to better retirement outcomes

Over half of retirement plan participants feel they are presented with more information than they can absorb and think employers should provide access to financial professionals to help.1 Pontera is already bridging this need for thousands of plan participants and their advisors. Studies show that professionally managed retirement accounts generate 3-4% higher returns per year, net of fees, than investors’ self-managed accounts.1 In other words, participants using Pontera are in a great position to get the most out of their contributions.

Safeguarded retirement account management

Before Pontera, participants often shared plan account credentials or statements to receive guidance from their financial advisors. This practice created substantial cybersecurity risk to the participant's funds. Now, participants can grant permission for their wealth advisors manage plan accounts on Pontera's secure platform. The Pontera platform uses bank-level encryption, is SOC 2 certified by EY, and restricts advisor actions to in-plan management. This way, participants get the help they need without having to compromise their personal security.
