Why is Atlas so passionate that their plans are some of the best out there?

We do our best to remove as much Wall Street greed out of the 401(k) Plans.

Why do companies choose Atlas – Service, Unbundled Solution and Flexibility for Asset Choices.

Why does Atlas Wealth Management offer 401(k) plans?

We have been setting up company retirement plans for a while and more and more clients and potential clients wanted a 401(k) plan (or to switch away from their provider), but needed to lower fees and have better asset choices for the participants. After some time to research and get the right partners in place our 401(k) plan offerings have been well-received. We offer an “unbundled” plan for maximum flexibility, transparency of fees and an ETF asset lineup designed to provide participants with greater long-term return with less fees and equal to or greater performance than Mutual Funds.  An “unbundled” plan is an offering that is gaining more traction over the last several years because it reduces Wall Street greed and favors Plan Sponsors and Participants, which is why Atlas has been growing their 401(k) retirement services. Most companies are “truly” not aware that they are paying higher than industry average fees for administration of the plan and not being reimbursed for 12b-1 fees. We are very different in our approach and in our offerings. Consider a 401(k) Review and Benchmark for your current plan to get a “baseline” of where you stand for fees, performance, service and fiduciary compliance.

Fiduciary Responsibility

Atlas is an authority with Fiduciary Responsibility whether it pertains to the Advisor, Plan Sponsor or Participant level.  Many companies are not familiar with their role as a fiduciary or how to avoid a potential DOL audit.  Atlas keeps their clients updated on current and future fiduciary requirements and setups a checklist to make sure key areas of the 401(k) Plan are in compliance. Atlas acts as a: 3(38) – Atlas works with the Plan Sponsor on plan structure consulting, asset lineup creation along with monitoring and conducting the annual Investment Committee.  Atlas partners with a TPA (Third-Party Administrator) to file all necessary government forms and perform all compliance testing required (Top Heavy, ACP and ADP). 3(21) – Atlas works with the participants to help them become “Retirement Ready”.  We provide but not limited to the following 3(21) fiduciary services; Enrollment, group and one-on-one education, financial planning and retirement coaching.

Increasing Participation

Atlas will provide at least 5 methods to increase participation.  These can be provided as strategies, but will provide the tactical assistance to implement them to the participants.  WE KNOW that flexibility, greater options and knowledge will increase participation and help with attraction and retention of employees.
