A New Option to Enhance Retirement Plan Opportunities: Pooled Employer Plan (PEP)
An improved type of retirement plan solution has been announced. The Pooled Employer Plan (PEP) is a single plan that bundles together unrelated employers from unrelated industries. As a member of a PEP, the employer does not take on additional risk associated with other employers in the plan. By facilitating access to high-quality retirement plans at a reasonable cost, PEPs are expected to give small businesses an additional incentive to provide retirement benefits to their employees.
