What is a Pooled Employer Plan (PEP)?

A PEP lets multiple employers join one plan to reduce risk, administration, and cost while improving benefits.

How much does it cost?

Typically lower than standalone plans. Pricing is transparent; exact costs depend on plan size and features.

Can I still customize my plan?

Yes—eligibility timing, contributions, vesting, and more remain flexible under the PEP structure.

Who manages the investments?

An investment committee leverages open-architecture access to select and monitor funds.

How quickly can we start?

Most employers launch within 30–45 days after completing the adoption agreement.

Do I still need to file Form 5500?

5500 reporting occurs at the PEP level—significantly reducing your administrative workload.
