Why you should switch to a peppermint retirement plan:
You'll probably reduce expenses
- PEP fees are almost always less than a 401k or MEP
- Only a $750 one time initial setup fee
- $1,008 annual provider administration fee
- Investments have a lower net expense ratios
- Traditional 401ks may all-in fees of 1.2% to 3.64% for fees and expenses on 0-10M Assets Under Management (AUM)
- No audit costs for participating companies (for example an audit of a 180 person company could cost more than $15K)
- Tax incentives for PEP participation

Why don’t companies switch retirement plans?
They think it's going to be hard and time consuming
- Actually, it’s pretty easy. We’ll help you every step of the way. You’ll have some docs to sign, a letter to send (we’ll give you the template), and a couple of hours of work spread over the regulatory five-week transition period
They don't realize how much their plan is costing the company
- Many providers hide fees and charges in fund-level net expense ratios, peppermint doesn’t
They are worried about rolling over funds and assets under management
- We make this easy and can help you transition funds from a variety of sources (401k, MEP, IRA) easily and securely
They have a personal relationship with the plan advisor
- We love personal relationships with our partner companies, but we won’t charge you for them
