Sponsored by: Inspira Financial Trust, LLC Financial wellness, automatic rollovers, and plan terminations are currently a trifecta of important topics to which advisors can add real value. In an increasingly commoditized retirement plan space, it’s a way for them to truly stand out in the services they provide to help their plan sponsor and participant clients. It’s an area of hyper-focus for Inspira Financial, the result of Millennium Trust Company and PayFlex joining forces recently to become a “devoted partner for health, wealth, retirement, and benefits.” Pete Welsh, managing director of retirement and wealth at Inspira Financial, discusses strategies to increase financial wellness for client employees and retirement plan terminations, but begins with a bit about Inspira Financial itself. *Inspira Financial Trust, LLC and its affiliates perform the duties of a directed custodian and/or an administrator of consumer directed benefits and, as such, do not provide due diligence to third parties on prospective investments, platforms, sponsors, or service providers, and do not offer or sell investments or provide investment, tax, or legal advice.…

To tackle current workforce and organizational issues, it's essential to move beyond conventional approaches. Many employers are turning to Pooled Employer Plans (PEP) to solve the challenges of the traditional 401(k) structure. In fact, By 2030, over half of employer plan sponsors are expected to switch to a PEP. Aon’s Rick Jones joins us to discuss how we’ll get there. PEPs allow employers to combine assets for cost efficiency while shifting fiduciary and operational duties to the PEP provider. They can also improve retirement outcomes for participants—making PEPs a win-win for organizations and their employees.
