In the past, we have shared a great deal on how ADMIN’s operations vary from other ...
ADMIN’S FOCUS: SAVING PLAN SPONSORS TIME PT2
One of the things that makes ADMIN Partners unique as a TPA is that we work with a specific selection of clients. Being in the tax-exempt and government markets, we are working with a number of organizations that have a strong focus/mission. From public schools to non-profits, our clients are concentrated on helping others. This means they often have little time (and sometimes limited budgets) to source an employee just for administration ...

A DYNAMIC DUO: TPA’S + FINANCIAL ADVISORS
When it comes to retirement planning, Financial Advisors and TPA firms have spent years working against each other. This was the result of Third Part Companies venturing into the world of investments leaving Advisors to feel like they had a new army of competition. While it’s true that some TPA’s have joined the ranks of selling investments to employer-sponsored retirement plans, other TPA’s, such as ADMIN Partners, have decided to take a ...

MONTHLY BOOK REVIEW: THE LATTE FACTOR
Working in the retirement industry, we often spend a lot of time talking about saving money. If you ask us, it’s something that is not talked about enough. In fact, the significance of saving money for your later years is usually overlooked. With a tough economy and high expenses, people tend find themselves focusing more on getting by each day versus planning for the years ahead. This is something that ADMIN understands and can sympathize with; ...
ADMIN’S (FREE) PLAN CONSULTATION SERVICE

One aspect of our services that you don’t see commonly discussed is ADMIN’s free plan consultation. ADMIN Partners does business with the understanding that not every TPA is a good ...
PLAN SPONSOR RESPONSIBILITY – PART TWO
Over the years, our Sales Team has received a number of questions from potential clients. However, one of the most common questions they have received is ‘why use a TPA?’ This question comes from prospects of all sizes and designs, but it is especially received by smaller organizations who want a 403(b), but have a concern when it comes to costs. To respond, we often counter these prospects with a question of our own: ‘What level of ...

401(k) VERSUS 403(b)
For those working in the world of retirement planning, the differences between a 401(k) and a 403(b) Plan are obvious. However, there are many people outside of the financial services industry who are less aware of what each plan type means and who qualifies for these different retirement plan options. While the two plan types are similar in how they operate (for instance, both have the same contribution limits), there are some differences in the ...
