The Retirement Advisor Council, one of the financial industry’s leading organizations, announced this week that 401GO, a fintech retirement plan provider, has joined as a Member-At-Large. 401GO has proprietary technology that gives businesses practical pricing and industry-leading customer support, according to a press release.
Technology will be a key component to helping Americans save and grow retirement savings. The American defined contribution industry is unique in its structure compared with other countries in that retirement advisors play a crucial role in the structure of private retirement plans.
Advisors are of particular importance for small businesses, which employs a high percentage of Americans.
“We are excited to be joining the Retirement Advisor Council as a Member-at-Large, to further our commitment to making retirement a reality for every American. It’s a pleasure to work side-by-side with industry leaders to improve retirement plan outcomes for workers, and to shape the future of the industry,” says Beck. “We expect great things from our association with the Retirement Advisor Council.”
The Retirement Advisor Council is a national organization that advocates for successful qualified plan and participant retirement outcomes through the collaborative efforts of experienced, qualified retirement plan advisors, investment managers and defined contribution plan service providers.
The new member-at-large is consistent with one of the key goals of the Council, in providing collective thought capital to decision-makers, product providers, legislators, and the public.
