Transamerica Together with Merrill Lynch Launch a Workplace Retirement Solution for Not-for-Profits
HARRISON, N.Y., June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Transamerica Retirement Solutions today announced a new workplace retirement plan program with Merrill Lynch that will enable the wealth management company to expand its options for not-for-profit organizations. This new program will mark the first time Transamerica has offered a 403(b) retirement plan program with Merrill Lynch.
"We welcome this opportunity to deepen our relationship with Merrill Lynch and extend our offering of retirement plans to more fully serve the needs of not-for-profit organizations and their employees," said Jason Crane, executive vice president and national sales director for Transamerica Retirement Solutions. "Transamerica and Merrill Lynch have developed a workplace retirement program based on mutual commitment that we believe will have a powerful and direct impact in helping more employees retire with confidence."
Not-for-profit organizations, including large higher education and healthcare institutions, often require flexible technology and multiple retirement plans to cover a broad base of employees. Over the years, Transamerica has focused on providing cutting-edge solutions to specifically meet the needs of the not-for-profit community. Merrill Lynch is also making available Transamerica's mutual fund retirement plan product on its Advisor Alliance platform. This offering will supplement the Transamerica Group Annuity product with Merrill Lynch.
All 401(k) and 403(b) plan sponsors and their employees will now have the ability to take advantage of additional Transamerica plan administration services, coupled with a wide array of mutual funds offered through Merrill Lynch's investment platform.
