About SmartPlan Enterprise
Designed to help average investors better understand their retirement plans, SmartPlan Enterprise provides the benefits of a personal financial professional, in a website available 24/7/365. By combining a video-based presentation of detailed financial information with an interactive application that prompts users to make informed investment decisions, SmartPlan Enterprise can help increase plan enrollment, raise participant contribution levels, and reduce support costs.
The SmartPlan Enterprise participant environment features a familiar interface that makes it easy to navigate, even for novice users, and allows a participant to go at his or her own pace. Our video hosts offer a brief video overview of 401(k) basics, followed by a discussion of selected features, such as auto-enrollment, matching contributions, and loans. Then, using simple interactive forms, our video hosts then guide participants through a short process, including individual retirement needs and risk profile surveys, and selection of investment types and contribution amounts, that generates a personalized investor profile. The SmartPlan Enterprise system is integrated with a provider's participant database, to deliver a custom experience and allow upload of participant choices.
