Pooled Concept

The SECURE Act of 2019 enacted a major provision into the US retirement marketplace in opening up other options with multiple employer plans. The new adjustment was allowing Multiple Employer Aggregation Programs ( MEAP), which is a group retirement program that multiple unrelated employers can join through their association with an offering organization. That offering organization acts in an endorser capacity for the MEAP, as opposed to a plan sponsor capacity, like the PEP or MEP. The key difference is that the joining employers still maintain their own single plan document and financial advisor and are not grouped into one large plan with other participating employers.

The program aggregates many of the services to create efficiencies and typically includes administrative and investment fiduciaries to oversee many operational and fiduciary tasks for the program and its adopting plans. The MEAP is excellent for employers who want to take advantage of collective purchasing power, a reduction in administration time and less fiduciary responsibility and risk, while avoiding many of the administrative and plan design complexities associated with joining a single plan with several other employers.
