THE UNBUNDLED BUNDLED PLATFORM
THE BEST OF BOTH SERVICE MODELS
There are primarily five service components to retirement plans: recordkeeping, administration, trustee/custodian, investments, and education.
The two primary delivery systems are:Bundled and Unbundled.
Bundled offers the convenience of getting everything you need from one source. However, the big disadvantages are you don’t have many options within the Plan, there is disparity with the providers’ expertise with the various service components of the Plan and fees are not fully transparent
Unbundled offers the flexibility to select the best providers for each service component of the Plan
in an open architecture environment with fee transparency. The disadvantage has been managing the
Plan information and services across multiple relationships.
ASPire is an Application Service Provider (ASP) with innovative web based technology that allows
us to bring together unbundled retirement plan service providers in an integrated platform that,
from a service perspective, creates a bundled environment. The “unbundled bundled” approach
brings together unbiased, industry-leading service options and competitive pricing.
