1) A retirement plan engineered for simplicity. RP 2201 NY 12/13 

2) MULTIPLE EMPLOYER PLAN A streamlined, efficient retirement plan to benefit businesses. Keeping things simple can help you manage your business more effectively. Consider this streamlined approach for your retirement plan. In today’s competitive employment landscape, a retirement plan helps attract those individuals you want to join your organization, while rewarding those who are already part of your team. However, sponsoring a retirement plan takes specialized knowledge, adds administrative obligations, and imposes fiduciary requirements on business owners. With a Multiple Employer Plan (MEP), the Adopting Employer’s responsibilities are reduced significantly in these areas. Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. of New York (Ameritas Life of New York), can help you keep things simple when it comes to sponsoring a qualified retirement plan. Our 401k ELITE Multiple Employer Plan (Plan) is a simple, efficient way to incorporate a retirement plan into your benefits package. Why Consider a Multiple Employer Plan? As stated in the Internal Revenue Code, it is a retirement savings package in which multiple businesses participate in a single qualified retirement plan. It is sponsored by a third party, referred to as the “MEP Sponsor,” who takes on the principal responsibility and liability for running the plan. A business that joins a MEP is referred to as an “Adopting Employer.” It’s efficient. A MEP saves you time. It enables your leadership team to concentrate on managing your business, not your retirement plan. It significantly reduces the Adopting Employer’s fiduciary responsibility. The day-to-day fiduciary investment risk becomes the responsibility of the investment manager retained by the MEP. Benefits for the Adopting Employer Many employers underestimate the time it takes to administer a retirement plan. As an Adopting Employer in the MEP, you turn these responsibilities over to a group of professionals who handle plan administration, investments, and recordkeeping. Plan Administrator Pentegra Services, Inc. (Pentegra) assumes the roles of ERISA section 3(16) named plan administrator. Pentegra’s Board of Directors serves as the principal fiduciary for the Plan. Pentegra is a leading retirement plan provider with nearly 70 years of experience managing MEPs. Investment Manager Mesirow Financial Investment Management, Inc. serves as investment manager and ERISA section 3(38) fiduciary for the Plan with responsibility for fund selection and ongoing monitoring of the plan’s investment lineup. The level of ERISA section 3(38) investment fiduciary protection relieves plan sponsors and Adopting Employers of the due diligence and ongoing monitoring of plan investments. 1 Mesirow Financial Investment Management, Inc. is a diversified financial services firm that has been serving the needs of its clients for 75 years. 1 The specific legal protection offered by Mesirow Financial is governed by the agreement between Mesirow Financial and the plan sponsor. Nothing herein is intended to modify such agreement.
