BENEFITS OF ARP 401K PLANS
• A recruiting edge — in today’s tight labor market, offering a 401(K) plan may make employers more attractive to potential employees.
• Lower potential costs — both employees and employers may realize savings due to being able to access the necessary scale to bring down the administrative costs of the plan.
• Access to stronger plans — a larger pool provides
access to low-cost institutional level investment options that may not be available in single plans for small and mid-size employers.
• Similar benefits to the ‘big guys’ — Employers will now have access to the same technology and fiduciary oversite that was typically only offered to larger employer plans.
