Pooled Retirement Plans for Your Organization
A well-designed retirement plan can help you recruit and keep talented employees. But offering a retirement plan can be complicated. That’s why a pooled retirement plan is attractive to many organizations. It allows multiple employers to join a single retirement plan, which reduces your responsibilities and cost.
Ameritas can help. Our history managing pooled plans spans over 20 years. Our experience gives us insight into the processes and systems that are necessary to set up a successful pooled plan. We’ll work with you to ensure your plan is exactly what you need.

While other types of pooled retirement plans exist, Ameritas specializes in MEPs and PEPs, which can be offered as 401(k) or 403(b) plans.
Multiple Employer Plans
Related employers
MEPs are for businesses that typically have some common interest but are not commonly owned.
Pooled Employer Plans
Unrelated employers
PEPs allow unrelated employers to pool their retirement resources with those of other employers.
