PEP Features
— 3(38), 3(16) and PPP services (which means Newport, not the client, signs the 5500 form).
— A Self-Directed brokerage option that allows advisors to “pluck out” key participant accounts for direct management. This allows the advisor to deliver more customized wealth management solutions to larger 401k participants and charge their customary advisory fee.
