Offering a Retirement Plan May Be Easier Than You Think

The Arlington Chamber gives members the opportunity to join a retirement program designed to give you the benefits of offering a retirement plan without having to own all the responsibility—in other words, one that helps make your job easier.

Because your retirement plan shouldn’t be a challenge

In a group program, many of the tasks that come with running a retirement plan—ones you’d typically handle on your own in a plan you may already offer employees—are gathered to be managed by a third party on behalf of the businesses that join:

• Administrative duties
• Operational tasks
• Fiduciary responsibilities

And the advantage is clear. You get time back in your day and free up yourself and your employees to spend that time where it counts: focused on your business.

Schedule 15 minutes with Barry Seymour with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management to find out more about how the Chamber 401(k) program can work for you. And check out this video to learn more about the value of group 401(k) programs.
